Lecale Way
The Lecale Way section explores the heavily indented shoreline of County Down, a coast rich in history and wildlife. From the start in Strangford, it journeys south for 40 miles through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, along quiet roads, beaches and delightful stretches of coastal path, to finish in the seaside resort of Newcastle.
