드럼코 최고의 사이클링 경로

Knockninny Hill에 들르는 것은 가치가 있습니다 - "정상"에서 사방을 둘러볼 수 있는 꿈같은 고원입니다. 해당 지역이 사유지인지는 명확하지 않았습니다. 다른 시기에는 소를 만날 수도 있습니다😃

요새(1611)는 1689년에 두 차례의 심한 포위를 견뎌냈지만(자코바이트 전쟁 중) 1764년에 파괴적인 화재로 완전히 파괴되었습니다. 순환 경로는 유적 옆을 지나갑니다.

Known locally as the "Wee Abbey", Clones Abbey is a ruined monastery dating back to the 12th century. The original abbey was founded by St. Tigernach as early as the 6th century. However, the abbey was destroyed by fire not once, but four times during its history. In the 16th century, the abbey suffered once again during the suppression of monasteries and Protestant reformation under Henry VIII. Less than a hundred years later, it lay in ruin, although some solitary monks still lived here until the 18th century. Today, you can visit the crumbling walls and take a look at the interesting graveyard. The abbey is free to visit and you can access it any time.

Managed by the National Trust, the Crom Estate is a large nature reserve of woodlands, lake, castle ruins and islands. It is an important habitat for pine martens, bats, deer, red squirrels and butterflies. There is a coffee shop at the estate and if you fancy something different you can hire a boat to explore the lough.

The road passed around the edge of Doon Forest. Mostly a conifer plantation, there is also a lot of deciduous planting around the outside. The quiet road through the trees feel particularly lush in May when the leaves are at their newest and greenest.

There is a great view from the car park, but even better, park up your bike and take the short trail to the hiking viewpoint. There you can marvel at the panoramic views across County Fermanagh and County Monaghan. Take a seat in the oversized chair and enjoy. Especially lovely at sunrise and sunset.

The Crom Castle estate boathouse sits on the shore of Lough Erne below the main castle. The views out on onto the water from the boathouse are splendid, the perfect spot to pull up a picnic blanket and enjoy some relaxation.

Great accommodation for cyclists in the centre of Clones. Very good food too.
