Redburn Forest, Holywood

Grade: Moderate with steep parts.

This woodland walk ascends to a great viewpoint that looks over Belfast Lough with the Belfast Hills providing the land backdrop in the distance.

We'll walk up through the woods and get a spectacular view of the lights of Belfast and weather permitting, the sun going down over the Belfast Hills in the west.

There may be a little light rain on Wednesday evening, but as most of the walk is under the tree canopy this will still be an enjoyable walk. Just put on a raincoat and come out and join us!

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

The length of the walk is about 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. Walking boots/shoes with good grip. 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.
