Knockagh Monument Tours and Activities

Carrickfergus Castle is one of the best preserved castles in Northern Ireland and has withstood sieges and defended against invaders for more than 800 years. The imposing landmark dominates the shoreline in Lough Belfast, the inlet surrounding the city, making it impossible to ignore for anyone trying to attack Belfast.

One of the oldest visitor attractions in Northern Ireland, Belfast Zoo is located in the north of the city, on Antrim Road, and is home to more than 1,000 animals on its 55-acre site.

The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum has two wings, as the name suggests – one showing the traditions and way of life of the people of Northern Ireland, while the other is a collection of cars, locomotives, trams, horse-drawn carriages, planes, bicycles and even pogo sticks. There are no prizes for guessing which is more popular with young children.

One of Belfast’s most popular attractions, this beautiful and historic sandstone building gives great views over the city below.

Stroll through the glorious meadows and hills of this park overlooking Belfast to encounter a land of castles, forts and caves.

Enjoy a round of golf in Greenisland at Greenisland Golf Club. Make time for the shops and local tours in this walkable area.
