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

Here, too, passersby encounter a "war memorial" in the center of town. Everywhere in the villages and towns, victims were mourned during the terrible wars (especially, but not only, in the first half of the last century) – often young people who had to endure suffering and pain and ultimately paid with their own lives for their service to their fatherland far from home. Their names are always inscribed on the respective memorial to at least keep the memory alive.

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.

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.

The Craigmore Viaduct is an impressive structure, with its 18 arches spanning the Camlough River Valley, dominating the landscape of south Armagh. As I cycled along the gently curving roads, the viaduct suddenly appeared on the horizon - a massive but elegant sight. The tall stone arches seem to effortlessly support the train traffic that runs between Dublin and Belfast. I stopped for a moment to take a closer look at the structure. It is fascinating to know that this structure has been standing here since 1852, designed by Irish engineer John Benjamin Macneill. The highest arch rises 126 feet, and standing under it you can really appreciate the scale and importance of this structure to the region. The surroundings are just perfect for putting your bike down and taking some time to look at the view. Perhaps a small lookout point with information about the history of the viaduct would be a nice addition, but even without it it is a worthwhile stop along the way. We continue, but the image of the arches remains in our minds.
