발리둘라니 최고의 사이클링 경로

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.

Hollie Berrie is a good place for refreshments on the route at Scarva

The route winds gently uphill, offering small clearings through which you can catch a glimpse of the valley and the sparkling water in the distance. The air here is wonderfully fresh and filled with the surrounding forests. During the climb you can feel the peace of the forest, accompanied only by the hum of the tires on the asphalt and the chirping of the birds. Once you reach the top, you are rewarded with a magnificent panorama.

It feels as if stories from times long past hang in the air here – the old tree has probably seen many seasons and radiates a certain calm and constancy.

This impressive tree, which has stood here for centuries, is a testament to the region's rich natural history. The paths leading there lead through dense forest and offer a pleasant ride away from traffic. However, some sections are slippery in wet weather, so care should be taken. A particular highlight is the proximity to the Cloughmore Stone, a huge boulder that was transported here during the last Ice Age.

The small town of Scarva, nestled between green meadows and the quiet canal, offers a welcome break on my bike tour through Northern Ireland. Here you cycle on well-maintained paths past historic bridges and small villages that give you the feeling that time has stood still. The British flags fluttering along the side of the road remind you that you are in a culturally special area - a detail that reflects the identity of the region. The route is easy to cycle, the surrounding landscape is gently rolling, which makes for pleasant cycling. The view of wide fields and rolling hills invites you to slow down now and then and take in the peace and quiet. A special feature of Scarva is the annual Orange Order March, which transforms the village into a kind of open-air stage once a year and keeps the traditions of this region alive.

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.
