Newtownabbey Way

We walked the newly opened Newtownabbey Way recently. Lovely trail, for both walkers and cyclists alike, and with plenty of surprises (the viaducts are astonishing). Kudos to Newtownabbey council for having the vision to create such a great amenity - please pay attention everyone else.

Being that it disects essentially urban and suburban areas, its success should be well assured, but it will need to be maintained - litter as always is going to be a problem from certain anti-social types out there.

It links up with the Loughshore Trail, providing an off-road experience all the way to Belfast, Joining up with the Lagan Towpath.
