Cycle and pedestrian bridge over the Lagan

The bridge is named after Captain John Shaw of Oliver Cromwell's army, who built an oak bridge here in 1655. A stone bridge was built by Thomas Burgh in 1691, although this was destroyed by flooding, which led to it being replaced by the present bridge in 1709.

Surrounded by beautiful paths and trails.

The old stone bridge stretches majestically over the still water, which is perfectly reflected and creates a calm, almost magical atmosphere. The surrounding nature is inviting and offers a wonderful backdrop with green meadows and shady paths. A light wind blows through the trees and the sounds of nature accompany you with every pedal stroke.

Lagan Meadows - a real gem for those who like it quiet but still want a bit of adventure. The path winds through gentle meadows and dense bushes, always accompanied by the gentle melody of the Lagan, which flows leisurely along here. It is a real play of colors, especially in autumn - the leaves shine in all shades of yellow and red, and the grass slowly loses its rich green. On the bike, nature comes directly to you here. The narrow paths are easy to ride, but every now and then there is a small puddle or a tight bend that keeps you alert. Sometimes a dog or a walker crosses your path, so it's better to slow down a bit and enjoy. There are also a few quiet corners where you can stop for a moment and let your gaze wander over the gentle ups and downs of the meadows. It is best to come here early in the morning or in the evening, when there is a special silence over the meadows. The clear air, the scent of damp moss and earth and the gentle rustling of the leaves almost make you forget that Belfast isn't that far away. A real contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city and ideal for a little break.

Just of the towpath is the Meadows. A really peaceful part of the stretch, especially considering how close it is to the town centre. This route in the meadow itself explores a beautiful Local Nature Reserve in the Lagan Valley with varied wildlife habitats. Including the odd adventurous Seal and Kingfishers. Spent many a time just sitting on a tree here, having not seen a soul for hours. A real gem.

Named after Captain John Shaw who built a wooden bridge at the site in 1655. The bridge was rebuilt from stone in 1698, but was swept away during flooding. What remains today was rebuilt in 1709. The Bridge provides another major access point for the towpath, offering parking facilities and canoe access to the river.

Perfect way to get out to Comber. Connecting easily with nearby tours of Strangford Lough and Ards. You will be amazed just how quite things get, and all only 30 minutes from Belfast.
