A consultation on the proposed new Bellarena-Bishop’s Gate Greenway will take place in Magilligan in north County Derry next week.

Tetra Tech, on behalf of the Department for Infrastructure (DfI), will hold a public engagement event in the Magilligan Community Centre from 2pm to 7pm on March 11.

The new route between Bellarena and Bishop’s Gate near Mussenden Temple was among six signature schemes recently announced by Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins.

"The proposed greenway aims to facilitate walking, wheeling and cycling opportunities for a range of purposes such as recreation and leisure in this stunning landscape setting, whilst enhancing the tourism offering of the area by connecting to existing attractions, local amenities and supporting local businesses.
