Funding for tourist sites
The Development Department of Craigavon Borough Council has secured almost £180,000 of this funding from Southern Organisation for Action in Rural Areas (SOAR) and will see environmental improvement schemes put into action to make these areas look their best for visitors as well as installing some interpretation panels.
Environmental improvements are taking place at the Bayshore, Ardmore, Maghery Country Park, Bannfoot/Charlestown and Bartin’s Bay, Aghagallon. Beautifully animated interpretation panels providing information about the natural and cultural history of the area will be installed at Emerson Quay, Oxford Island, Kinnego, Ardmore, Gawley’s Gate & Portmore Lough.
