Nendrum Monastery was a Christian monastery founded in the 5th century. The monastery finished somewhere between 974 and 1178, but the church survived until the 15th century. You can visit the ruins if you're riding past.

Comber Greenway is a popular traffic-free footway and cycling path connecting Belfast city centre with Comber. It's the perfect place to get some fresh air and relieve yourself from the hustle and bustle of city life. There's some beautiful scenery on the way including an array of wildflowers and trees, meadows and grasslands, and excellent views.

Best example of a pre-Norman monastic site in Northern Ireland. From around the 5th century, it's a stunning location nestled on the islands jutting into Strangford Lough.

I was attracted by this absolutely magical looking meadow, which is part of every filming location Scout for J.R.R. Tolkien's films would certainly have been worth a second look. At the top of the hill you can see the remains of a monastery from the 6th century marvel. Nendrum Abbey is considered one of the nuclei of Christianity in Ireland. At that time, however, this place was also a magnet for craftsmen, simply because there was work there. Gradually, more people settled and a small center developed at the monastery. However, this thriving place not only attracted honorable fellows, there are some indications that raids by predatory Vikings also took place as a result. In the 15th century the site was then replaced by a more accessible site on the mainland and Nendrum was abandoned and left to decay.

Pretty church on a rocky knoll above the road.

Bloomin awesome traffic free, beautifully maintained old railway line. Best way to get out of Belfast and into the countryside.

Daft Eddy's cycle friendly cafe and restaurant. Just up the hill.
