Looking along The Broadwater towards Moira. The narrow mesh walkway is for angling. The Broadwater is a man-made feature dug in a natural valley to provide a sufficient of head of water to accommodate the navigation of the canal. Moira is said to be the only town in Ireland to straddle two counties, Co Armagh and Co Down, but as the River Lagan forms the border between Co Down and Co Antrim between Belfast and Lisburn both of these could also claim to do that.
