BELFAST CASTLE

We were at a wedding here recently ,Belfast castle sits on Cave Hill beside the Belfast zoo
It is beautiful up here with lovely views across Belfast lough
The inside of the castle is beautiful and the staff on duty that day of the wedding were very helpful and friendly.
Well worth a visit especially on a nice summers day to take in the views and go for a walk around cavehill.
The walk through the woodland and parkland is 2.4 miles.
Access by the carpark signposted from the Antrim Road.
By bus Metro services 1a-1h (mon to sat) 1c-1e or 1h (sun)
Belfast Castle was built in 1870 it is the former home of the Donegal and Shaftesbury families.
It was given to the city in 1934 and is now managed by Belfast City Council.
You can visit the Cave Hill Visitor Centre on the 2nd floor.
The main gates have the Donegal family crest on the top of each post.
There is also a story of the castle cat can't remember how the story goes but there is a plaque telling you about it.
