On the banks of the lake, the complex offers a beautiful mix of nature and urban flair. Free parking makes access uncomplicated and practical.

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.
