Running from Toomebridge on the shores of Lough Neagh to Coleraine, the Lower Bann is a beautifully scenic river with an excellent navigation system and an unspoilt environment. It is anticipated that a 7-day holiday will allow travellers to see all of the river and to have some extra time to discover the hinterland. On the river, there are only four locks, all manned by helpful lock-keepers. The river is easily navigated with the same navigation system as Lough Erne so will be familiar to many of Carrickcraft's clients. There are many interesting attractions along the river including the ancient fort at Mountsandel in Coleraine where archaeologists have found evidence of a human settlement more than 9,000 years old. This makes Mountsandel the oldest known human settlement in Ireland.
The main towns along the way are Toomebridge (home to the Crosskeys Inn, the oldest thatched pub in Northern Ireland), Portglenone, Kilrea and Coleraine. There is also an excellent watersports centre at Drumaheglis and plenty of opportunities to try a bit of fishing. From the Town Centre marina at Coleraine, it is only a short taxi-ride to some of Northern Ireland's biggest tourist attractions such as the Giant's Causeway, Bushmills Distillery, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and Dunluce Castle. And of course the world-famous Royal Portrush Golf Course. Access to Coleraine is excellent, being only 90 minutes from either of Belfast's main airports and less than an hour from City of Derry Airport.
