Do take advantage of one of Ireland’s
fantastic woods, almost a bird call away
from the heart of the city. In the opposite
direction from Cave Hill, an 8-km lovely
drive west from Belfast’s City Centre, this
200-acre expanse has mixed woodland
and grassland rambling around the river
Glen.There are waterfalls and ponds, plus
guided walks during summers (including
a Bluebell Walk and the fossil-collecting
Dinosaur Walk). If you are here in August,
you must introduce the children to the
Environmental Week and Bat Nights
ȋ ϐ
forest; it’s not as scary as it sounds and
In fact is a unique experience).
