Loughshore Trail Cycle Route www.loughshoretrail.com
The Loughshore Trail is known as Route 94 of the National Cycle Network and is a bi-directional 113 mile cycle route that encircles Lough Neagh. Lough Neagh itself lies at the very heart of Mid- Ulster and is the ideal destination for a cycling break suitable for families and enthusiasts alike. The Loughshore Trail is a unique cycleway, not only because of its location but because it uses quiet country lanes and consists of mainly flat terrain. As well as providing breathtaking views the trail also incorporates over 25 major sites of interest including marinas, nature reserves, parks and sites of archaeological interest. Many of the sites along the route host interpretation panels providing information about the Trail, local history and flora and fauna.
The trail will enable you to sample first hand the diverse culture and heritage of the Lough Neagh Region as well as allowing you to visit the natural and man made environment using the many miles of quiet lanes that run alongside or close to the shoreline.
