Brilliant hike. Amazing views and great walk. Well signposted and the parking in the park is free. We had rain sunshine and wind but glorious views nonetheless. Full review by rebeccamP4482ZI

Great hike - partially covered and partially open sky. Doable in a couple hours, and super convenient to get to from Downtown Belfast. Full review by JuniorBruin

Fantastic views over Belfast. Easy and quick access to the country park. Well maintained paths and woodland with very little litter. Great for a nice gentle walk or a good hike. Park at Belfast Cas… Full review by whistler302

Which trail should I take to get the best view? Is it necessary to take the longest trail? Or do some of the shorter trails take you up the top to the famous and best views too?
A:
I would take the longest one if you have time. We took shorter, as it was discribed as having some of the finest views, but there was almost no views, trees and bushes covered …

Frequently asked questions
Q:
Can I narrow my search further by entering an exact date of death or burial, rather than just a year?
A:
This makes it difficult to carry out a comprehensive search by date, as some records may be omitted from the search facility as a result of their format.
