Nice easy walk just outside the city where you'll be rewarded with some great views over Belfast assuming the weather is kind. Luckily it was the day I was there!

It is a bit of a climb but when you get to the top you get some of the most awesome views of Belfast. Well worth the climb :)

The views of the city, the easy access of walking from the main road, the colours of the Autumn and Winter in the grasses and rushes, the efforts of many volunteers and staff to make this one of the countryside highlights of a visit to Belfast

Divis and black mountain is an excellent place to walk to dog and unwind. The views of belfast are superb, parking and picnic areas. The national trust has done an excellent job maintaining it, we'll sign posted. Wildlife on the mountain is brilliant. Would recommend!!

This walk along the Black and Divis mountains is great, a way to escape the city and look down on it and all the landmarks. good parking and picnic area.

Not too hard a walk as perfect paths all the way to both peaks, ie Black Mountain and Divis. Not too long, plenty of fresh air, nice bit of exercise, and rewarded with fabulous views of the city and coastline.

Changes colour every day. Just beautiful. Great walks. You can cheat and drive around the back to walk on to the mountain. Definitely worth it for the views over Belfast

Park up near Belfast Castle and walk up to the top. Great view of Belfast. On the way down call into Belfast Castle for lunch or a coffee.
