The River Cycle Route
This route along the quiet roads on the East bank of the River Bann provides a great family cycle. From Ballymoney travel west through Balnamore village towards Drumaheglis Marina and Caravan Park set on the banks of the River Bann. From here head south towards Kilrea on the quiet road which offers good views of the river. After the Angler’s Rest pub you may like to leave the route to explore the old canal and weir at the fish farm. To return take the first left south of the canal and travel north along the parallel inland road looking across rich farmland with the Antrim Hills in the background. From Bendooragh you can either cycle the busy ‘B’ road to Ballymoney or travel straight ahead return to Ballymoney via Balnamore.
