Lagan Meadows Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Located in south Belfast, Lagan Meadows is a beautiful nature reserve comprised of 9 hectares with pasture, meadow and woodland. It's the ideal spot if you're looking for a chance to see wildlife and enjoy local nature while just outside the city.

Lagan Meadows Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Just of the towpath is the Meadows. A really peaceful part of the stretch, especially considering how close it is to the town centre.

This route in the meadow itself explores a beautiful Local Nature Reserve in the Lagan Valley with varied wildlife habitats. Including the odd adventurous Seal and Kingfishers.

Spent many a time just sitting on a tree here, having not seen a soul for hours. A real gem.

Belvoir Park Forest

Highlight • Historical Site

A working forest just outside of Belfast dating back to 1961, Belvoir Park Forest is a gorgeous, lush forest park that overs 75 hectares alongside the south side of the River Lagan.

The forest is also home to a number of historic sites, including the 12th century Norman motte.

Lagan Towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Great towpath for riding or walking. Lots of dog walkers so be aware going around bends with limited visibility but lots of straights for building up speed after.
