The award winning Lough Erne Canoe Trail has continued its ongoing development with the production of a new waterproof guide which makes it even easier to explore Fermanagh’s lakes by canoe.

The Lough Erne Canoe Trail was launched by Outdoor Recreation Northern Ireland (formerly CAAN) in May 2005 and has gone from strength to strength ever since.   In 2008 it was the first Northern Irish project to be recognised by the British Urban Regeneration Waterways Renaissance Awards and early in 2012 a cottage was refurbished on Trannish Island to provide Bothy accommodation for canoeists.

“There has been so much development on Lough Erne since we originally launched the trail back in 2005. The Trannish Island Bothy and the ongoing infrastructure improvements by Waterways Ireland and Fermanagh District Council have significantly increased Lough Erne’s potential as a canoeing destination. The new guide reflects all these changes ensuring canoeists can make the most out of their experience in Fermanagh.” explained Sarah Noble, Senior Product Development Officer, Outdoor Recreation NI.

The 50km trail from Crom to Muckross is by far the most popular of the 9 canoe trails promoted by Outdoor Recreation NI because it is suitable for such a wide range of abilities. The shelter of Upper Lough Erne provides a superb venue for those embarking on their first canoe trip whereas Lower Lough Erne can become rough in strong winds and in such conditions is best left to experts.

The trail is certainly a great addition to Fermanagh’s tourism offering. Of those who have experienced the trail 85% stated it enhanced their experience of the area and 91% stated they wished to return to the area again in the future.

Éanna Rowe Head of Marketing & Communications, Waterways Ireland stated “Waterways Ireland welcomes the development of the redesigned Canoe Trail Guide for Lough Erne. Our Partnership with Outdoor Recreation NI in developing the trail has been fruitful and we look forward to more canoeists enjoying the trail using this new guide”

The new waterproof guide, which can be ordered free of charge on CanoeNI.com, indicates all the slipways and jetties at which canoeists can access Lough Erne whilst also providing key information such as campsites, toilets, fresh water, points of interests etc. The guide is also available in an interactive format on CanoeNI.com which also provides additional information such as canoe hire, guided trips, suggested itineraries and accommodation.

Councillor Thomas O’Reilly, Chairman of Fermanagh District Council, stated ”

As a council, we were delighted to be able to continue to invest in this worthwhile tourism project which will greatly benefit both the local community and visitors to Fermanagh”

This project has been developed by Outdoor Recreation Northern Ireland, Waterways Ireland and Fermanagh District Council.   Other project partners include The Canoe Association of Northern Ireland and Share Discovery Village.

GET a new leash of life and make the next walk with your dog a little different this winter by discovering some of Northern Ireland’s most scenic locations together, says the Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB).

Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the edge of a lake, a refreshing walk along the coastline or a more adventurous hike through a stunning forest park, there are plenty of options to suit everyone and you’d be barking mad to miss out.

NITB’s Destination PR Officer, Pauline Gormley says winter is a great time of year to discover new landscapes.

“After a busy festive season there is no better way to blow away the cobwebs and welcome in the New Year than going on a winter walk,” said Pauline.

“No matter what time of year it is your dog will still need to be walked so winter is the perfect chance to wrap up warm and venture somewhere new and we’re sure your dog will also appreciate the new view,” she said.
NITB has put together a list of top walking routes for you and your dog to explore this winter.

Belfast

A winter morning is arguably the best time to walk the Lagan Towpath as the mist hovers just above Belfast’s main river.  The towpath starts in Stranmillis, just minutes away from Belfast City Centre, and sets off along the river and canal systems through a variety of wetland, riverside meadows and mixed woodland.  After passing through Lagan Meadows and over Shaw’s Bridge this section of the towpath finishes at Sir Thomas & Lady Dixon Park, one of Belfast’s most popular parks.  Dogs allowed on leads.

Divis and Black Mountain rest in the heart of the Belfast Hills and provide a backdrop to the city’s skyline, offering spectacular views across Northern Ireland, Belfast Lough and as far as Donegal and the coast of England, Scotland and the Isle of Man.  Suitable footwear is necessary and dogs must be kept under close control at all times.

Co. Antrim

Winter creates the perfect backdrop to explore the mature woodland of Glenariff Forest Park with freezing waterfalls and open, frosted moorland.  The trail first takes you down the Inver River gorge, to the edge of the Ess-na-Crub Waterfall and your path back offers spectacular views straight down the misty Glen to the coast and the sea beyond.  Dogs are allowed on leads and there are some steep paths.

Follow a stretch of breathtaking coastline between Ballintoy and Bushmills for a great 12.4 mile walk.  The route includes walking on beaches, across rocks and along cliff top paths following the Causeway Coast Way, one of the most spectacular cliff top paths in the UK.

Co. Antrim also boasts Croaghan, a 6.5 mile circular stroll, with a variety of hills, forest tracks and stunning panoramic views of Rathlin Island, just off the Antrim Coast.

Co. Armagh

The Slieve Gullion walk is 9.5 miles and located within the Ring of Gullion Area of Outstanding Beauty. Rising to 573m, Slieve Gullion is the centrepiece of the volcanic landscape and is a Special Area of Conservation.  The Ring of Gullion and Slieve Gullion have rich associations with Irish legends and myths.

Co. Down

Located in the dramatic setting of mountains and sea, Castlewellan Forest Park is one of the most outstanding tree and shrub collections in Europe.  Many walkers enjoy its mile-long lake which gives a great insight into eighteenth-century landscaping.

Covering an area of almost 630 hectares at the foot of the Mourne Mountains, Tollymore Forest Park offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the sea at nearby Newcastle.  Tollymore has some very interesting features to look out for while on your walk including a barn dressed up to look like a church, stone cones on top of gate piers and gothic-style gate arches that all show the influence of the highly individualistic designer, Thomas Wright of Durham. 

North Down Coastal Path extends from Holywood in the west to Orlock in the in the east and passes through coastline and parkland.  Historic relics and flora and fauna can be found in abundance and grey seals can be spotted offshore.

Murlough Nature Reserve is a fragile 6000 year old sand dune system owned by the National Trust, it is an excellent area for walking due to its spectacular location at the edge of Dundrum and the Mourne Mountains and was Ireland’s first Nature Reserve.  Dogs are allowed on leads.

Co. Fermanagh

Castle Coole is a majestic 18^th century home and has a stunning landscape park as well as a surrounding wooded landscape park sloping down to Lough Coole, ideal for long walks with your pet.

Castle Archdale Country Park offers a variety of walks on a 5 mile trail with lots to see as it goes along the shore passing the deer park enclosure, wildfowl ponds, wildflower meadow and butterfly garden.  Winter is a great time of the year to explore this unique setting.

Co. Tyrone

Peatlands Park, close to the southern shores of Lough Neagh, can be explored by over 10 miles of paths and wooden walkways which leads the visitor through many varied habitats.  The park is rich in butterflies, moths and dragonflies as well as many woodland and wetland birds and several species of waterfowl.

Dungannon Park is a 70 acre oasis centred round an idyllic still-water lake and its magnificent scenery invites you to enjoy a leisurely walk along the park trail.  High grounds offer the walker splendid views of the surrounding townlands and countryside with views of Lough Neagh on a clear day.

Co. Londonderry

Port Path follows a stretch of scenic coastline between Portstewart and Portrush and the winter seascape is an experience not to be missed.  As well as the magnificent offshore views, this route also passes by a number of interesting features such as traditional ice houses, stone built, turf roofed houses where ice was stored in the winter in order to preserve salmon in the summer.  Dogs are allowed on leads.

The Roe Valley Country Park offers a variety of routes along the River Roe or Red River.  The park has great appeal for dog lovers and winter makes it a truly special place with only the call of mallard ducks breaking the silence.  Dogs are allowed on leads.

Prehen Wood is one of Northern Ireland’s rare and irreplaceable ancient woods and it has a series of numbered waymarkers that offer an environmental trail encouraging people to develop an awareness and appreciation of the natural and built environment.

Please note, some locations may have signs to indicate restricted dog access or that you must keep your dog on a lead, so be sure to look out for these or call ahead to check access.  Remember to be a responsible dog owner and clean up after your pooch.

Why not combine your winter walk with an overnight stay in the local area with prices starting from £49 per room per night.
