Cave Hill, one of the most familiar and visible landmarks of Belfast.

Cave Hill Country Park gets its name from five caves - which could be early iron mines - located on the side of the main Belfast cliffs.

Visitors to Cave Hill Country Park can enjoy panoramic views across Belfast City from vantage points on the hillside.

There are also waymarked trails which are suitable for casual walkers or serious ramblers.

A former defensive fort built on the promontory at the front of Cave Hill. Little remains today of the original fort, although the moat that once surrounded it can still be distinguished.

I was lucky enough to climb Cave Hill with two of my cousins in 2007. It was an amazing view and the commentary from both these great men was wonderful. Don't think I could do it again though.... it definity was a memorable time.

Ashamed to say yesterday was my first visit to the Cave Hill Country Park, but my (English) fiance is keen to see all the interesting places here! It was well worth the climb for the great views!

I left Nth.Ireland in 1973 & moved to Melbourne with family as a 7 yr old. But i still have fond memories of Cave Hill. I lived nearby in Rathcoole & hope to someday bring my 7yr old daughter over for a visit to where dad was born. I certainly miss the"green grass of home" at times. 36 years in Australia, but you never forget where you were born. McArt's Fort images brought a little tear to the eye. Absolutely beautiful.
