Golf and Activities

Walking

Enjoy an unbeatable array of walks with touches of the countryside in the city at Cave Hill or for a gentler pace, meander along the River Lagan on the scenic Towpath. Stretch your legs in the fresh air of one of Belfast’s many parks or leave the city to take up the challenge of scaling the heights of the Mourne Mountains or the Glens of Antrim.

Golfing

Golfers are spoilt for choice in Northern Ireland with over 90 courses, all within a maximum of two hours drive from the Port of Belfast. From the pedigree of the oldest club in Ireland, Royal Belfast Golf Club, to the new Lough Erne Golf Resort designed by Nick Faldo, there is a course to suit everyone. You can even play indoors!

Cycling & Adventure Sports

Take to the open road with the wide variety of cycle routes available for all levels of fitness. Lagan and Lough Cycle Way, a 21 mile cycle ride connects Belfast with the City of Lisburn. For an adrenaline rush, why not experience the thrills of sailing or horse riding or the highs of a helicopter lesson or rock climbing? Just a short drive from the port, there’s a wide range of adventure sports available such as quad biking, water sports and even paintball!
