Banbridge, Co Down

On the Upper Bann river, is off the main Belfast to Dublin road. The wide main street is in three sections with an underpass in the middle: cut in 1834 to enable stage coaches to take the steep hill. The district's famous daughter, Helen Waddell, wrote that Banbridge had a skyline like a medieval town. In the square stands a delightful memorial: four polar bears gazing at Capt. Francis Crozier who died in the act of discovering the North-West Passage. The Newry-Portadown canal follows the road and railway between Poyntz Pass and Scarva. There is a pleasant walk along the wide towpath.
