Dog Walk Route 1

The Bann Boulevard is the perfect place for a short walk or as a starting point for a much longer linear walk. The wide tarmac surface makes the path suitable for all users. The towpath is a shared use path and can be busy at times, however, cyclists should give way to pedestrians.

Northern Ireland’s largest and most beautiful urban park, the second largest public park in Ireland.

Nearly everyone is familiar with the song "The Star of the County Down" which is closely associated with the town of Banbridge and goes:
"Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
One morning in July
down a boreen green came a sweet colleen,
and she smiled as she passed me by."
The River Bann rises in the Mountains of Mourne and flows through the town on its journey to Lough Neagh. The river has been integral to the historic wealth of the district and the thriving town of Banbridge in particular.

The Broad Water is a man made feature, built in a natural valley in order to retain a sufficient head of water to accommodate the navigation. Take a seat and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, set against the background of a thin belt of mature woodland! The Broad Water is a 3 mile towpath walk between Moira Railway Station and Aghalee and takes you along the route of the original Lagan Canal through Soldierstown. Keep an eye out for the large variety of breeding and wintering wildfowl.

Enjoy a quiet stroll along woodland paths and country lane within this small, family owned estate located on the edge of the pretty village of Loughbrickland.

The Lime Tree walk is an avenue of pollarded lime trees under planted by snowdrops and spring flowers. This walk passes The majestic Argory oak plantation, returning to the house by the main drive. This is an alternative shorter version of the Argory Blackwater river Walk - Dungannon.

Surrounding by nature, enjoy this walk by following the Blackwater River around the estate and cross the industrial-age Bond’s Bridge. This is a longer version of the Argory lime tree Walk - Dungannon.

Rising to the east on the slopes of Divis Mountain, the Crumlin River has carved a short but deep glen here as it approaches the waters of Lough Neagh.
