Fantastic experience: Good walk with dog.

Samuel Steele 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Beautiful walk along the river, there are plenty of opportunities to spot local wildlife and insects from butterflies to dragonflies. The only downside is that recently with the recent algae blooms from Lough Neagh the serene nature of the river is affected with algae blooms very noticeable

Positive experience: Fisherman's Walk is not merely a path; it's an emerald ribbon unraveling through time. The River Bann, a shimmering silver thread, accompanies you on this journey, its gentle murmur a constant, comforting lullaby. Imagine walking through a living, breathing art gallery where the canvas changes with every step. Lush greenery, a palette of emerald and gold, frames the river like a masterpiece. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and the promise of rain. It's a sensory symphony, a concerto for the senses. The crunch of gravel underfoot, the whisper of wind through the trees, and the distant caw of a crow create a rhythm that is both grounding and exhilarating. Every bend in the river reveals a new vista, a fresh perspective. The interplay of light and shadow on the water is mesmerizing. It's as if the river itself is an artist, constantly reimagining its masterpiece. And then, there are the inhabitants of this aquatic realm. Swans glide with regal grace, their white plumage a stark contrast against the verdant backdrop. Ducks paddle merrily, their quacking a cheerful counterpoint to the river's gentle flow. Fisherman's Walk is more than just a walk; it's a journey into the heart of nature. It's a place where worries dissolve like morning mist, and the soul finds solace in the rhythm of the river. It's a reminder of life's simple pleasures, the beauty of the ordinary, and the magic that can be found in the most unexpected places.

Fantastic experience: The Fisherman's walk is exactly what it says it is located just outside Portglenone, heading towards Kilrea, it's a forest walk by the River and as you go along the forest walk there are areas where fishermen can set up there Rods etc safely on a nice day it's a great place to go and relax there is also a self serve Coffee Pod just as you begin your walk or wait until you return there are wooden camping houses for staying in although they don't have great privacy at the back as there beside the footpath you walk on going to the River walk
