Belvoir Park Forest Circuit Description
Whether you are looking for an escape from the city, a nice woodland path to walk your dogs, or a place for the kids to explore the outdoors, the Belvoir Park Forest Circuit is a great option to reconnect with the natural beauty of the Belfast landscape.
Setting out from the trailhead next to the education centre, you will head to the north and enter into the thick cover of the forest, passing by Belvoir Mott before crossing over a small stream. Continuing along the banks of the Lagan River to the northwest, you will enjoy some lovely views across the water before the trail bends around to the southeast.
Here, you will meander further into the forest and pass by the edge of the Belvoir Golf Course, eventually turning to the southwest to pass by the starting point of your adventure. Continuing on to the southwest you will embark upon a short loop through the forest that will bring you along the edge of some sports fields, before returning to the education centre where you began your day on the trails.
