バリーレナハンのおすすめランニングルート

Very nice cafe-restaurant with good food and beautiful garden

There is probably no better way to get to Belfast city centre by bike.

Here, in the middle of the greenery, a pleasant path along the stream invites you to let yourself drift and enjoy the peace of nature. The idyllic paths meander through dense forest and reveal wide meadows in between - a perfect alternation between shady sections and clearings where the sun warmly tickles the skin.

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.

Nice at any time of the year but Autumn is especially beautiful for a riverside run

Located in South Belfast and once a private estate, Barnett Demesne is now a public park since 1951. The park itself includes plenty of walk/hike opportunities, gardens, an arboretum & a children's playground.

Running from Belfast to Lisburn, the Lagan Towpath is a pleasant, walk around the River Lagan with peaceful surroundings such as wetland, riverside meadows, & woodlands. The canal system itself dates back to the late 18th century and now offers a glimpse into the area's past.

A working forest just outside of Belfast dating back to 1961, Belvoir Park Forest is a gorgeous, lush forest park that overs 75 hectares alongside the south side of the River Lagan. The forest is also home to a number of historic sites, including the 12th century Norman motte.
