The Lagan Towpath

Lagan Towpath, from Stranmillis to Shaw's Bridge

Address: Shaw's Bridge car park, Malone Road, Belfast BT9 5YN
  • Outdoors
  • Free
  • Best in Spring, Summer, Autumn
  • Active

Walk or cycle the towpath beside the River Lagan out of the city, through meadows and woods to the old stone arches of Shaw's Bridge.

Why it's a good date: It's flat, green and surprisingly peaceful for somewhere so close to the city. Hire bikes for a longer day, or walk out and treat yourselves to lunch on the way back.
