Stretching 20km from Carlingford to Newry, this scenic route offers a safe, sustainable way to walk, cycle, and explore the stunning east coast of Ireland.

Built mostly along the old railway line, the mainly off-road trail runs along the southern shoreline and provides stunning views of the lough set against the majestic backdrop of the Cooley and Mourne Mountains. It journeys through fields of grazing sheep, over old level crossings and bridges, with trees, wildflowers and birds to be seen en route. Landmarks along the way include Carlingford Marina, Greers Quay, Omeath Village and Victoria Lough.

It's a great day out, with a variety of restaurants and cafes in both Carlingford and Omeath in which to reward yourself.

Bike hire is available locally.
