Sailortown to Titanic

It seems there's time for one last walk before Christmas, so let's go for a relaxing ramble around Sailortown and the Maritime Mile!

This is a walk taking in Belfast's maritime history packaged in a level, easy stroll with lots of history relating to Belfast's docklands and the shipyards that built the Titanic.

We'll start at St Joseph's Church on Princess Dock Street where there's parking.

From Sailortown, we'll walk past the historic Clarendon Dock and pub haunts of yesteryear (Pat's and Rotterdam bars). We'll walk through the beautiful new City Quays gardens and then pass the Big Fish and go across the Lagan Weir Footbridge to Titanic Quarter, passing some of the city’s greatest attractions such as the SS Nomadic, Titanic Belfast, the Great Light and Thompson Dock.

After the walk, we can go to the American Bar for a coffee and a chat.

This walk costs £6 for non-members and £1 for subscribed members.

If travelling by public transport, it's a 5 minute walk from York Street station, or if travelling by bus into town you can join us at the Big Fish at about 7:15pm (please let me know, so I know to look out for you).

If you need a lift, post up and someone may be able to help. Please give the driver a contribution to cover fuel.
