Grade - Moderate/challenging - 6 miles approx.

What better way to welcome in the New Year than a good walk on Divis, looking down on Belfast below us!

This is the highest point in the city and commands stunning views.

If the weather is dry, bring a hot drink and packed lunch/snack, we'll stop for a break along the way. We can also go to the Standing Stones Lodge afterwards for coffee and refreshments.

Don't come on this walk without proper walking footwear, warm clothing and waterproofs. Walking boots/shoes and poles if you use them.

Walk costs £6 for guests and non-members. Members with a paid subscription pay £1.

Happy New Year

Continue for about 2.5 miles, shortly after the national speed limit sign, turn right onto Divis Road (signposted with brown sign).
