“Couldn’t recommend Moira Lakes more. I signed myself up on a trip around the coast of Turkey on a kayak, without knowing really anything about kayaking. I went to Moira Lakes for two lessons and they were professional, friendly and so knowledgeable. They gave me the confidence to go and have a fantastic trip! Thank you ✨”

“Best to be hiked down from the Glendale park side which faces Belfast, especially during sunset as the best views can be seen when the city is lit up during the night.”

“A real hidden gem, just 10 mins on the train out of Belfast. The service was brilliant, really knowledgeable without being intimidating or pushy, and instead helped us order without overdoing it. The wine selection by the glass was great, and good value too, again, great recommendations. The food is the real star of the show, we went for the lightly grilled oysters, the jambons (which really feel like one of those dishes you’ll be craving every few days after), the moreish artichokes, steak tartare Caesar salad which was great fun, skate wing and their signature crispy potatoes. The food comes out when it’s ready in a really clever order, no rushing. The Veda treacle tart was a standout for dessert, and ask for a ‘Belfast coffee’ - like an espresso martini but nicer. By no means cheap, but quality of ingredients and the vibes were brilliant. We’ll be back again!”

“Really beautiful. The effort was worth it. As a suggestion, it’s better to follow the route starting from Belfast Castle. The route is better.”

“Great views, be prepared for some walking get here. We went from the upper Hightown road car park. Mostly uphill but nothing too difficult. Best views on Belfast, allow a couple of hours min for a round trip from the car park.”

“Great place to sit down and chill. Delicious pastry and perfect temperature coffee ☕️”

“This was my first time at Streamvale pods and I thought it was amazing. Everything was provided for us and the pod was neat and clean. It was so cozy and relaxing I could’ve stayed for a week! The hot tub was all ready for us arriving and they also gave us free hot chocolate supplies. As well as this we were provided with milk, orange juice, yogurts, wheaten bread, soda bread, oats and wee spreads such as jam and butter all for our breakfast in the morning or a snack throughout the day !”

“The best sandwiches anywhere. No-one else comes close. Same staff for years says so much. The most tasty and great selection. Just perfection.”

“Alfie has been going to DogDaysNI for 4 years now. It has really helped him become more confident and he loves coming in to play with his friends. Emma and the team are fantastic and go above and beyond to celebrate special occasions like Halloween. I love getting brilliant photos of Alfie like these!”

“My husband, teen son and I did the interactive blacksmithing workshop this past Saturday and it was TERRIFIC! Michael and his assistant Garth first took us on a tour of this historical mill and showed us how spades are made. It was fascinating to see how the mill was built and how it's powered and it's awesome that the National Trust has ensured its continuity. Then they helped us make our own fire pokers using the forge. It was exciting, educational, and challenging but they made sure we did everything safely and our pokers came out excellent (well mostly). I think the only reason this experience isn't oversubscribed is that people don't know about it. Hopefully they'll be able to continue it as it's a great opportunity to do something unique and fascinating. Highly recommend.”

“Simply majestic Great for dogs and family fun. Wi-Fi, and coffee shop are top notch”

“Me and my boyfriend did the Treetop Obstacle Course and had the best time. The course was so much fun, with lots of various challenges to cross. Our instructor Charlie was awesome, felt more like being there with a friend. He was very encouraging and ensured we knew what we were doing, and made the whole experience even better. Thank you Charlie!! :)”

“What a lovely green space for locals. Unfortunately the canal was drained but can imagine it full. Poor ducks missing that. Gardens and public spacesvwell maintained.”

“Beautiful spot for a walk. There is a little coffee van that does pizzas and take away coffees, which is just in the main parking lot. Note that it only accepts cash, and the closest ATM is at a garage about 10 minutes' walk away.”

“I first visited in 1971 as a child. Since then I’ve visited the museum over 20 times. I always see and learn something new. The staff and volunteers are welcoming and knowledgeable. We pick a nice day and walk the full park, thoroughly enjoying the peace and quiet especially in the rural sections. A special place.”

“A very relaxed and enjoyable meander. For that little bit of fresh air, Cairn Wood was a great option today. Every dog walker we encountered was well mannered and in control of their dog; excellent to see that! We did notice a few dog land mines however; this was a well kept public walk for sure. Several options of which trail you might choose to follow, all marked up well at each junction. The coffee served at Batch (in the car park) served up a decent, and perfectly hot, cup of coffee! The tray bake options are all pretty decent!!”

“Well now, what do we have here? A little slice of Italy has swaggered into Ballymena, donned its fanciest apron, poured itself a cocktail, and promptly stolen my heart. Gatto’s, you seductive little minx, where have you been all my life? Let’s start with the opening act: the Carne Platter — a carnivorous symphony of sizzling, seasoned magnificence that hit the table like a meat-based fanfare. Chargrilled, marinated, and unapologetically meaty, it set the tone for what would be an evening of gluttonous delight. Each bite was a hug from Nonna, if Nonna had a penchant for fire-grilled finesse and a cheeky wink. Then came the main event: the Pollo Alla Veronese — a dish that deserves to be serenaded by a gondolier while fireworks explode tastefully in the background. Tender chicken, cloaked in a rich, dreamy sauce, with flavour notes so intricate they could compose an opera. Every bite was a flirtation with perfection. My taste buds? Positively scandalised and begging for more. Around the table, my fellow diners were deep in gastronomic romance with their own dishes. Pizzas that were crisp yet chewy with toppings as bold as an Italian soap opera. And those sirloin steaks cooked so well they nearly applied for citizenship. Searing on the outside, blushing pink within — the sort of steak that makes you want to write poetry and take up woodcarving. To wash it all down? A few cocktails that danced their way across the palate, charming and boozy in all the right ways. A few pints of Madri added that continental edge — and gave the illusion we were somewhere warmer than Ballymena, at least until someone opened the door. And the bill? Surprisingly reasonable. The kind of total that makes you double check it, nod slowly, and feel vaguely smug about the whole affair. Gatto’s isn’t just great food — it’s a culinary cuddle with a handshake from value-for-money. This was my first visit, and I can confirm with absolute certainty: it won't be my last. Bravo, Gatto's. Bravissimo.”

“Fantastic walk up into hills above East Belfast. Great views across the city and a beautiful glen with waterfall and light dappling through deciduous trees. Even a 12 to 14 hundred year old hill fort at the top (not in great repair but still worth seeing). Be warned- the climb is steep including high steps. Also some steps and fences really need maintenance work done to them - stout shoes are essential if there's been any rain recently (ok all the time - this is Belfast!) and this isn't for anyone with limited mobility.”

“Cockle Row cottages now open at weekends. Check Ards and North Down Borough Council for times etc. Nice spot and great pub grub at Groomsport Inn”

“Crawfordsburn is a great place for whatever kind of day out you have in mind. Inland country park walks, coastal path walk (Helen's bay to Bangor), grassy areas for games, the beach, a nice café, and the ice-cream van! We were there for a church bbq and were able to make use of the activity/scout centre, which has a great covered area for any unsuspecting showers. Lots of picnic tables and toilet facilities. Ample parking in the main carpark and toilets are also available at the café.”

“Amazing service, couldn’t have been more helpful, ordered at 9.30, delivered and installed by 3, would highly recommend”
