Carnmoney Hill - Get Healthy!
Carnmoney Hill is a great place to start your new healthy walking lifestyle.
The wildlife pond walk takes only 20 minutes, is the shortest route in the Belfast Hills and is entirely flat!
From this you can build up to walking some of the easy slopes of Carnmoney Hill, with the eventual aim of reaching the viewing point at the top of the hill.
There are a number of wooden benches across the site to allow you to sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of Carnmoney Hill.
There are various information panels so you can learn something of the rich wildlife here while you get fit.
