Start at Belfast Castle and climb through the woods and heath of Cave Hill Country Park to McArt's Fort, the rocky summit above the city.
Why it's a good date: It's a proper climb, and the reward is the whole of Belfast and the lough laid out below you. Wear good shoes, keep back from the cliff edge, and finish with a cuppa at the castle.
