Belfast Window on Wildlife (WOW)

Belfast's Window on Wildlife (WOW) is home to birds and wildlife from all over the world.

There are more than 100 species of birds and other wildlife to be found here, from lapwings and terns to konik ponies.

Trained staff and volunteers will help you tell a wigeon from a teal.

Hide 1 is open 24 Hours a Day, and free of charge. Great spot if you happen to get caught by the elements on a ride. Take a seat and enjoy the birds.

This nature reserve is located in the heart of the busy Belfast Harbour Estate and offers a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the city. On the way there, the route takes you along the lough, where you may be lucky enough to spot various species of birds. The centre itself has two observation huts and a modern visitor area with panoramic views of the lagoon. Here you can enjoy the diverse wildlife while enjoying a cup of coffee. However, the paths to the centre are sometimes muddy in wet weather, so sturdy shoes are recommended. Overall, the RSPB Window on Wildlife Centre is a worthwhile stop on your bike tour to experience nature and peace.
