Canada Street Murals

Highlight • Historical Site

Canada Street in Belfast is known for its striking murals, which are deeply rooted in the city's history and culture. These murals reflect Northern Ireland's complex past and tell stories of conflict, identity and community. One particularly notable mural on the corner of Canada Street depicts an Ulster loyalist refugee fleeing to Liverpool.
This artwork commemorates the difficult times and movements of people during the Northern Ireland conflict. The murals on Canada Street are not only artistically impressive, but also serve as a constant reminder of history and the progress that has been made since then.

Ormeau Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Ormeau Park - the perfect place for a relaxing bike ride in the middle of Belfast. As the oldest city park in the city, opened in 1871, it offers a pleasant mix of history, nature and leisure activities. The spaciousness and the dense green of the old trees create an atmosphere that immediately brings a bit of peace to hectic everyday life.

Here you will find a surprising variety: from BMX and bicycle paths to basketball and tennis courts to bowling greens and a beautifully designed flower garden. For me as a cyclist, the appeal lies particularly in the gentle curves and the wide paths that lead through the green area. In some corners you can still feel the touch of the Victorian era, especially along the beautiful avenues.

The park offers many entrances - be it from the Ormeau Road, the Ormeau Embankment or the Ravenhill Road.

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.
