Divis to Dixon - Get Healthy!

This a 10 mile continuous route that extends from Divis and Black Mountain to Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park. 

You can split this walk into smaller sections that include new walkways at Glenside Community Woodland and Upper Colin Glen. You can walk down from Divis or up from Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park. You can walk up and back down again for a 20 mile hike!  

The walk incorporates a mixed bag of tarmac, main roads, boggy ground, woodland and river. It can be mucky in places. It is for the walker who likes a challenge and for the well-equipped trekker with proper walking boots.
