킬라니 최고의 라이딩 경로

Armagh와 Down의 경계에 있는 작은 선형 마을로, 도로와 오래된 Newry 운하가 좁은 통로(the pass)에서 교차합니다. 운하는 낮은 울타리와 탁 트인 농지 사이를 곧게 뻗어 있으며, 짧은 다리와 직선의 제방길이 이어집니다. 마을 자체는 컴팩트합니다: 하나의 주요 거리, 19세기 건물 정면, 철도 노선, 그리고 조용하고 시골스러운 분위기입니다.

빠른 서비스와 넓은 공간

Nice little cafe in the village of Scarva right alongside the Newry canal towpath, great for brekkie, lunch or just topping up the hydration.

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

A great little cafe set in the bike shop, with great coffee and a nice variety of sweet goodies.

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.

Scarva (from Irish: Scarbhach meaning "shallow place, rough ford" is a small village in the parish of Aghaderg, County Down, Scarva is known as the location of the "Sham Fight" Pageant on 13 July every year. The Pageant attracts thousands of members of the Royal Black Preceptory, who come to act out a symbolic dramatised re-enactment of the Battle of the Boyne.

Village on the Newry cycle path. There is also a Scarva pilbox - one of many left over from the 2nd World War. Worth seeking out if you've got the time.
