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.

Camlough Lake is picturesquely nestled between the rolling hills of Slieve Gullion and the Ring of Gullion. Cycling along the narrow roads on the shore, you immediately feel the tranquility that emanates from the long stretch of water. The lake stretches for more than two kilometers and seems like a narrow, silent crack in the landscape - a peaceful place to take a short break or let your gaze wander over the water. I decided to take a little detour and cycled a little closer to the shore on a path. The water was almost still and reflected the range of hills that rise in the background. It may be a paradise for fishermen, but cyclists also enjoy the special atmosphere. The roads around the lake are not very busy and you can cycle in a relaxed manner without having to constantly pay attention to the traffic. One small criticism: some of the access roads are not well signposted, but if you look around a bit, you'll surely find a good place to get to the shore and enjoy the scenery.

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.

The site can trace its roots back to the 6th century when a monastery for nuns was founded by St. Moninna. The ruins of the two joined churches that can still be seen date from the 11th and the 15th century. Look for the large slab which is said to be St Moninna's grave.

This lough, located between the northern and southern burial cairns of Slieve Gullion, is the highest in Northern Ireland.

Here, many centuries ago, St. Moninna sought a place of peace and worship in the late 5th century and founded an early Christian community. Although no buildings remain from their time - for they were made of wood, a testament to their humble existence - the ground itself tells stories of a bygone era. As the wind blows through the grasses, one can almost hear the echoes of prayers and chants that once echoed in these hallowed halls. The visible evidence of history are the ruins of two churches. The West Church, built in the 11th century, bears the traces of a time of deep faith and cultural change. A few steps further rises the Eastern Church from the 15th century, a silent witness to the late medieval period, which was marked by religious and social changes. The monastery founded here functioned not only as a spiritual place, but also as a center of learning and community. Founded in 517 AD by St Moninna, it gained a reputation as one of the most important nunneries in medieval Ireland. It became a beacon of knowledge and devotion in a time often marked by turmoil and uncertainty.

The west church dates from the 11th century and the east church from the 15th century. It is also the site of an early monastery founded by St Moninna in 517 as one of the most important nunneries in medieval Ireland.
