Tips

Beyond the Horizon

November 1, 2024

The forest stretches along the River Lagan and has a surprising variety of plants and animals to experience as you drive through. Old oak trees and dense foliage cast shadows along the path and if you look closely you might spot a kingfisher by the water or hear the faint call of long-eared owls in the branches.

What makes Belvoir special is its history. In the middle of the forest lies an old Norman motte from the 12th century - a reminder of times gone by that makes the forest seem even more mystical. The gigantic fungi and rare plants such as the scaly root also give this place its own charm.

The trails here are pleasant and offer you the right mix of challenge and relaxation. For nature lovers and history buffs, Belvoir Park Forest is a special experience that will make you want to return again and again.

Peaceful woodland and gravel trails close to the city suitable for hiking and biking. You can walk the dog or grind some gravel – there are no set trails as such just go explore and enjoy.

Continue south west to Shaw's Bridge or stop on your way to the park for coffee and cake at Lockkeepers.
