Lock at the Cutts, River Bann (1)
The Lower Bann is navigable over its entire length from Lough Neagh to the Barmouth near Castlerock where it enters the sea. It is tidal from the Barmouth to the Salmon Leap where there is a weir. The lock at the Cutts (“Cuts” on OS map) allows boats to avoid the weir. This is the entrance to the lock from the non-tidal side of the river.

"The Lady Sandel" on the Bann (2)
The River Bann can be quite attractive as it flows from Lough Neagh to the Atlantic near Castlerock. A previous attempt, in the mid-90’s to operate cruises failed partly due to the lack of tourists. Things have changed and “The Lady Sandel” is now operating successfully from Christie Park at Coleraine. She is seen heading upstream after leaving the lock at the Cutts (“Cuts” on the OS map). This trip was fully booked.

Floodgates, River Bann near Coleraine (2)
The Lower Bann flows from Lough Neagh to the Atlantic at the Barmouth near Castlerock. Water levels in the lough are controlled by 3 sets of flood gates. This is a view of the gates (on the downstream side) at the Cutts (“Cuts” on OS map) near Coleraine. According to the Rivers Agency “Incremental adjustment of floodgates is practised, whenever possible, in order to minimise impact on the range of environmental and other interests associated with the lough”. The Bann was in flood after several days of heavy rain.
