Brilliant hike. Amazing views and great walk. Well signposted and the parking in the park is free. We had rain sunshine and wind but glorious views nonetheless. Full review by rebeccamP4482ZI

Great hike - partially covered and partially open sky. Doable in a couple hours, and super convenient to get to from Downtown Belfast. Full review by JuniorBruin

If you haven't got time the short route at castle to caves has a terrific view over Belfast Lough and also a lovely trek through trees

yes there is, get a bus out to Belfast Zoo up the Antrim Road. There is a path leading to the top of Cave-hill from the side of the entrance to the zoo. It is a decent and at times steep hike, but worth it.

Frequently asked questions
Q:
Can I narrow my search further by entering an exact date of death or burial, rather than just a year?
A:
This makes it difficult to carry out a comprehensive search by date, as some records may be omitted from the search facility as a result of their format.
