Enjoy views up to the terrific Cavehill, a rocky elevation marked by basalt cliffs and caves. Look closley and see if you can spot 'Napolean's Nose', a tall cliff that resembles the profile of the great empire Napolean.

McArt's Fort is an example of an old ringfort or rath. From the fort, you can enjoy sensational views across the city of Belfast and out to the Belfast Lough and connecting Irish Sea.
