COLERAINE TO BALLYMONEY GREENWAY
“Bannside Greenway”
A proposal to extend the traffic-free pathways alongside the railway route in Ballymoney east past Balnamore and towards Macfin, before turning onto the disused railway track across the River Bann.
Linking up with a potential greenway coming up from Dungannon, a riverside pathway along the Bann could link up into Coleraine and the Causeway Coast.
