Peace Camino Featured on the Centre for Cross Border Cooperation
We are delighted to announce that the Centre for Cross Border Cooperation has very kindly featured an article on the North South Way Peace Camino on their website.
North South Way Peace Camino
The North South Way Peace Camino is a 33miles / 53km shared island walking route from Portadown to Carlingford, following the Newry Canal Towpath and Carlingford Lough shoreline. More than a walking route, it is a shared pathway for peace, wellbeing, reflection and connection.
Created as a community-led initiative, the Peace Camino invites people to walk together, reflect together and build new connections across communities and across this island. It offers a unique journey through nature, heritage, culture and conversation, linking local places and people through a shared experience of walking.
Why it Matters:
The North South Way Peace Camino has been developed to:
- connect communities across borders and backgrounds
- Promote peacebuilding, reflection and shared understanding
- Support Health, Wellbeing and connection through walking
- Celebrate local heritage, culture and landscape
- Encourage community participation and local economic opportunity
A Journey with a Purpose
The Peace Camino transforms a historic trade and border corridor into a living pathway for peace, wellbeing and connection. It offers a simple but powerful invitation: to walk together, to rediscover shared places, and to build a positive future that benefits everyone.
The Route
The route travels along canal paths, historic locks, villages, towns, open landscape and shoreline, creating a unique blue-green pathway across the island.
