If you and the family are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of urban life and explore the picturesque countryside, all without straying too far from Belfast, then you will certainly want to check out the Cregagh Glen and Lisnabreeny Walk.
Setting out from the trailhead off Upper Knockbreda Road, you will head to the southeast through the magical atmosphere of Cregagh Glen, taking in the views of the surrounding forests, streams, and waterfalls as you work your way uphill.
