   A nice walk to Connswater Retail park from Orangefield park following the river Connswater. A nice way to avoid walking along busy roads. It goes through the Hollow, with the ancient footbridge, which is where Van Morrison used to play when he was a kid and which is mentioned in his song Brown-eyed Girl.

   It's a good Greenway that goes past some lovely streams and through some parks. It's not very long, however, but definitely still worth checking out. On a bike, it can be a bit tight at spots, so better for a walk, although taking the bike is still completely fine.

   Fantastic open green space in the heart of East Belfast. Plenty of space for everyone; dog walkers generally clean up and there are bins aplenty. There's a public toilet just outside the entrance to Orangefield park (unisex) and a pop up cafe there too. Definitely a good place to get out for a walk or run.

   Good greenway footpath in East Belfast that stretches from Orangefield Park to Victoria Park. It takes about 45 minutes to walk between the two parks. It follows the Conn's Water river and you'll pass parks, CS Lewis Square, Connswater shopping centre and retail park, Glentoran football ground and plenty of places for coffee or a snack. I parked in the carpark by Bloomfield football ground, which is just off Houston Park. I spent a few hours stopping off along the Greenway and returned the same way back to the carpark.

   Great for walkers of all ages. Easy level walking (just watch out for cyclists). Lots to see and information on local history posted along the way.

   A sad little cycle route past bonfires, McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken with not a sign post in sight. The route passes the oldest stone structure in Belfast (possibly Ireland) and it doesn’t even get a mention. Sitting in a sad little corner. Con O’Neill’s bridge, possibly crossed by King John in 1210.

   A great walkway. Has nice path for jogging or cycling. Always very clean. Takes you to Victoria park or over towards Bloomfield which is very handy. the Lagan isn't exactly a nice view but the parks and shopping places and food joints you pass by make the walkway a lot better. Also takes you through the Lewis square which always has a good event on. The only drawback is they definitely need to put more bins along it.
