Redburn Forest, Holywood

Grade: Moderate with steep parts.

Price for non-members is £6. Paid up members pay £1.

Drive in at the NIEA signpost where the old people's home is and park near the picnic tables.

The wood ascends to a great viewpoint that looks over Belfast Lough and the Belfast Hills providing the land backdrop in the distance.

We'll walk up through the woods and hopefully get a spectacular view of the sun setting over the Belfast Hills in the west. Please bring a torch for the walk back down.

The length of the walk is about 2/3 miles.

The paths can be a bit mucky in places and can be quite steep, but as usual we'll take it easy and get a breather when we need it. Wear warms and sturdy walking boots. Please bring a torch. NO TRAINERS.

Follow the A2 from Belfast to Bangor. Redburn Country Park is signposted from the junction at Palace Barracks. Address: Old Holywood Road BT4 2HL. Click on the map and you can enter your location and get directions to Redburn.
