Update on Lock Keeper's Cottage

Latest news on the Lock Keeper's Cottage and Visitor's Centre : there is a very real prospect of both opening sometime this summer. The visitor's centre will have a coffee shop which will include outdoor seating and will include toilet facilites (very much needed along the river).

A Good News Story

A female Mallard was spotted close to one of the buildings at Lagan Weir, looking distressed and waterlogged. Staff at the Weir rescued her and Earlswood Vetinerary Hospital agreed to look after her.

24 hours later, after some food, a drip and some TLC she was able to be released by staff at the weir back into the river.

Thanks Earlswood !!!
