The Belfast Hills Partnership

The Belfast Hills Partnership is made up representatives from local councils, government departments, community groups, nature conservation organisations and businesses. They are committed to caring for the Belfast Hills, their wildlife and people.
The Partnership is managed by directors nominated from the statutory, community and local government sectors.



Current Issues and Future Solutions

The Belfast Hills face a wide range of ongoing problems. These include fly-tipping and illegal landfill, pressures for local agriculture, access to the Hills and quality of life issues for local people.


The Belfast Hills Operational Area

 
The operational boundary of the Belfast Hills Partnership encompasses approximately 4,400 hectares. 
From the hills, walkers can see a huge area that not only includes a number of key landmarks within the Greater Belfast area, but also most of the counties in the north of Ireland as well as beyond to Scotland and the Isle of Man...


Achievements this Year
Walking Map and Guide
Private funding was secured to print 20,000 walking map and guides.
These guides proved so popular that we had an unprecedented print run of 20,000 more! The guides have been distributed to a wide range of community outlets and libraries. Funding was also secured for printing our Access Code.......

Upcoming work
These work areas arise from the 2007-2010 business plan and have been split into those for which funding has been secured and those which depend heavily on new grand aid.
