운하 경로를 통해 Newry로 들어서면 쓰러진 이들을 위한 인상적인 헌사인 Newry 전쟁 기념관을 만나게 됩니다. 이 기념관은 진정한 25파운드 대포로 표시되어 있습니다. 제2차 세계 대전의 상징인 이 포병은 세계적인 분쟁 동안 지역 주민들의 용기와 희생을 상징합니다. 대포: 제2차 세계 대전 당시 가장 중요한 영국 야포였던 Ordnance QF 25파운더로, 다용도성과 기동성으로 유명합니다.

바스락거리는 나무들 사이로 뉴리 운하 견인로를 따라가다 보면 잠잠한 수문지기 오두막의 고요한 폐허를 만나게 됩니다. 한때 이곳은 수로의 자랑스럽고 번잡한 중심지였으며, 수문지기는 지나가는 배들을 위해 운하의 무거운 나무 문을 조작하기 위해 밤낮으로 준비했습니다. 오늘날에는 튼튼한 돌담만이 남아 자연에 천천히 잠식되고 있습니다.

There is something enchanted about this old, dilapidated stone hut - as if it were whispering stories of times gone by, when the canal was still full of life and the lock keepers worked here day and night. The walls, overgrown with greenery and moss, show how nature is slowly reclaiming its place. The building itself is only a ruin, but that is precisely what makes it somehow interesting. The mixture of broken brickwork and wild growth has something melancholic about it that fits perfectly into the tranquility of the surroundings. Right next to it there is a small rest area with a bench - ideal for stopping for a moment and taking in the atmosphere.

In the heart of Clare Glen, where the forests are thickest and the Cusher River flows gently through the landscape, hikers will encounter two special examples of craftsmanship: the stone bridges of Clare Glen. The first, a delicate miniature bridge, seems to have been made for elves and fairies, so delicate and yet robust as it sits there in the middle of the green thicket. A few steps further rises its big sister, a stately stone bridge of impressive normal size. Both bridges are made of solid stone and bear witness to the masterful architecture of bygone times. As you walk over them, you can hear the gentle rippling of water making its way under the arches. The cool forest that surrounds the bridges offers protection from the midday sun and envelops the hiker in quiet greenery. The chirping of the birds, the rustling of the leaves and the quiet murmur of the water create an atmosphere of peace and contemplation.

A piece of untouched nature stretches along the Cusher River, taking hikers into a world of silence and serenity. The gentle rippling of the river accompanies every step, creating a soothing melody that carries your thoughts far away. There is a caravan and campsite nearby, which serves as an ideal starting point for exploring this idyllic landscape. It is also convenient that free parking spaces are available at both ends of the highlighted section, which makes the journey particularly comfortable. For hiking enthusiasts, there are three marked trails that suggest different routes through the area. And although they suggest different levels of difficulty, in practice they are all easy to complete. Even with a stroller, exploring here is easy, which again speaks for the good accessibility and condition of the paths. It is the simplicity of this place that makes it so special. No excessive challenges, no hectic crowds of tourists. Just nature, the river and the peaceful sound of the surroundings. A perfect place to escape from everyday life, take a deep breath and enjoy the here and now to the fullest.

Now in ruins, the lock keeper's cottage is a good reminder of the important industrial history of the canal and the vital roles played by those who worked on it.

A pair of pretty stone bridges, one miniature and one regular sized, lead you over the Cusher River through the dense woodland of Clare Glen.
