This is a rewarding loop leading to Cavehill, passing Cavehill Cave and the remains of McArt's Fort, remnants of a past era, a prominent landmark overlooking Belfast. The trail is moderate, beginning near Belfast Castle, winding through woodlands and offering glimpses of the city below. The ascent is a little steep but leads to stunning panoramic views unfolding across Belfast Lough and the surrounding area.
