Quoile Estuary
| Description | The Quoile begins its life as the Ballynahinch River – which is very small and not ideal for paddling – then becomes the Annacloy River – which is an excellent white water paddle from Mason’s Bridge to Kilmore. From Kilmore to Annacloy is mostly flat water with a few weirs.
The River is generally known as the Quoile from Annacloy down through Downpatrick to the Barrage where it flows into Strangford Lough. This section of the river is completely flat.
The main access point is in Downpatrick at Jane’s Shore and it is a beautiful paddle upstream to Inch Abbey. The river is surrounded by woodland and arable land and has huge populations of waterfowl and swans.
Just upstream of the Belfast – Downpatrick road bridge (which has some interesting canoe sized tunnels to go through) is the outfall for the sewage treatment works for Downpatrick. Over the years canoeists have regularly reported untreated discharges from this system and paddlers using the area should report any to pollution to the Water pollution hotline on 0800 80 70 60.
Downstream from Jane’s Shore about 100m beyond the Killyleagh – Downpatrick road bridge is a barrage which marks the entrance to the Quoile Nature Reserve. At present the by-laws of the nature reserve forbid any boat traffic in this section of river. Very large congregations of waterfowl are found in this area – particularly in winter. |
