Journey through a unique landscape where history, nature, and innovative urban design meet. The Black Paths is a 40km network of cycle and walkways created in the 1960s, so people could travel freely and safely, separated from the noise and danger of cars. This visionary project, decades ahead of its time, created a blueprint for sustainable travel that is more relevant today than ever.
What you will see and discover:
A Visionary “New Town”: Uncover the story of Craigavon, a “New Town” born from a bold and ambitious plan. Learn how forward-thinking architects and planners dared to dream of a different way of living.
Engineering highs: Cycle over and under the bustling roads through a series of bike bridges and underpasses, connecting communities, parks, and commercial centres, creating a truly integrated and accessible town.
Lush Green Landscapes: Cycle through parklands, alongside lakes, and under the shade of mature trees. The Black Paths are not just a transport network; they are a green oasis in the heart of the town.
A Journey for Everyone: Tours are designed for all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or a family looking for a leisurely ride, the Black Paths offer a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Join us on a journey of discovery and see a side of Craigavon you never knew existed.
Tours lasts approximately 1 hour 15 mins.
