뉴리 운하 견인로는 포트다운과 뉴리 시를 연결하는 32km 길이의 거의 완전히 차량 통행이 없는 녹색 회랑입니다. 이 도로는 1742년 티론 카운티에서 바다로 석탄을 운송하기 위해 개통된 영국 섬에서 가장 오래된 운하의 견인로를 따라갑니다. 뉴리 운하 견인로는 아르마와 다운 카운티의 고요한 중심부를 통과하는 비할 데 없는 자전거 경험을 제공합니다. 국립 자전거 네트워크 9번 도로의 일부인 이 역사적인 경로는 14개의 기념비적인 수문과 특징적인 수문지기 오두막을 지나 평평하고 대부분 포장된 길을 따라 이어집니다. 수로를 따라가면서 울창한 숲과 탁 트인 초원이 번갈아 나타나는 풍경을 가로지르며, 스카바와 포인츠패스와 같은 환대하는 마을을 지나게 됩니다. 이 길은 야생 동물의 안식처이며, 갈대밭 근처에 사는 물총새, 백조, 수달을 발견할 수 있습니다. 32km 전체를 자전거로 달리든 일부만 탐험하든, 산업 역사와 자연의 아름다움이 결합된 이곳은 아일랜드 자전거 도로의 진정한 보석 중 하나입니다.

On the cycle path between Newry and Portadown, the gentle idyll of Northern Ireland unfolds in all its splendor. The route winds its way past lush green meadows where cows graze peacefully, through a wonderfully quiet landscape. The gentle rise and fall of the fields, the vastness of the sky and the gentle rustling of the wind create a unique atmosphere of relaxation. Here you can let your gaze wander into the distance while the path runs picturesquely between fields and hedges. A perfect place to let your bike roll and unwind.

In the middle of the forest, you suddenly find yourself standing in front of a bizarre stone creature - the "witch". She looks as if she has just risen from the mossy ground, with a mischievous smile and deep, expressive wrinkles on her face. This artfully designed stone is one of those unexpected encounters that transform the forest into a small adventure land. When you explore this magical place surrounded by old trees and whispering leaves, it almost seems as if the witch is greeting you with a wink. Here you can linger for a moment, enjoy the silence and let your imagination run wild - who knows what stories this forest still has to tell?

On the way through the Giant's Lair you will be immersed in Irish legends. As soon as you pass under the artistically carved archway, a magical world opens up in which the story of Finn McCool comes to life. The path leads you and the whole family through four chapters that bring the world of legend to life with lovingly designed stations. For the little ones it is an exciting treasure hunt - at every bend there are new clues waiting for them, which they eagerly discover. While they run ahead to find the next adventure, there is enough time for you to enjoy the lush nature. The dense trees, the mosses and the ancient carvings make you forget everyday life. You are in the middle of a story that unfolds further with every step.

As soon as you cross the gentle ridge of Slieve Gullion, the North Cairn stretches out before you - a slightly smaller hill than its southern neighbour, but no less impressive. The stones that gather here seem like silent sentinels, witnesses of the distant Bronze Age. Two ancient stone boxes were once found here during excavations, which lay hidden in the depths of history. The North Cairn, with its diameter of around 18 metres, invites you to pause for a moment and enjoy the peace. But it is not just the Cairn that is fascinating. Right next to it lies "Calliagh Beara's Lough", a quiet mountain lake that, according to legend, is the home of the witch Beara. On a clear day, the sky is reflected in the calm waters and you can almost feel the ancient magic of this place coming to life. The road here may be rocky, but the landscape rewards with sweeping views and a touch of mysticism that makes Slieve Gullion something special.

A tough climb but great views from the top!

This small forest at the foot of Slieve Gullion seems to be straight out of a fairy tale. Running through it will leave you enchanted, and you'll come across curious sculptures like this giant witch's face.

At the heart of the Ring of Gullion AONB, you'll find this beautiful mountain, which represents the highest point in the county with an elevation of 573 meters (1,880 ft). Right next to it there is a burial cairn.
