Belfast Castle sits at the foot of Cave Hill and is one of the most iconic locations to view the stunning skyline of Belfast City

Built in the 1860s, the estate remains a perfect location for locals and tourists to explore the surrounding natural woodland, parkland and gardens. It’s also home to the Cave Hill Adventurous Playground, archaeological sites, a visitor information centre, eco trails and orienteering routes.

It also contains both parkland and mature mixed woodland and is home to many different species of wildlife, including long-eared owls, sparrowhawks and Belfast’s rarest plant, the town hall clock.

Perched atop the slopes of Cavehill Country Park, Belfast Castle is a prominent landmark in the city. A castle has existed here since the 13th century, but the original walls burnt down in the 14th century. The building you see today dates to the Victorian era.

The castle is open to visitors and there is a restaurant and tavern. For more information, see: belfastcastle.co.uk
