Walking and Hiking in Belfast

With a vast array of forest parks, coastal paths, mountains, beaches and much more Northern Ireland is home to many beautiful regions for walking, all with their own unique appeal.

From the secluded coastal tracks, lush Glens and quaint fishing villages of the North Coast and Antrim, to the impressive granite torr capped summits and dramatic views found in the Mourne Mountains there is something for all levels of walkers.

The scenic beauty and the variety of the landscape make Northern Ireland a great place to explore on foot. The wide scatter of villages and small towns across the country means that forest trails, cliff-top paths, mountain hikes and pleasant strolls in country parks are literally on everybody’s doorstep.

Belfast as its capital is full of those options. The best way to enjoy these natural beauties is by hiking or walking.
