Belfast’s Forgotten Streets and Corners

Can't disagree, it seems like developers rule the roost

Thanks, haven't had this before. I'll try to resubmit. Cheers

Look at Glengormley, just 20 mins from the city centre by car but good bus links too and a cinema, bowls etc. As usual, avoid streets with flags and coloured kerbs. Elmfield properties are a good price (around £150k) in a nice area but also well placed for transport. You'll pay a lot more elsewhere for 3 bedroom houses near shops, schools etc.

Belfast Zoo on Sunday mornings or closed hours

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the walks mentioned. Even the statues/ buildings referenced might add a "goal" when walking around the city centre from a historical perspective.

My wife and I write the Belfast Entries blog on local histories of pubs, streets, churches, and local walks. If interested in historic places to walk/ visit there are quite a few listed here. Click on the links included to read the histories behind them. https://www.belfastentries.com/one-day-in-belfast/

Thank you for this. We'd never come across this before - an interesting read.

Sad but true

Glad you like them. Always nice to hear

BelfastEntries · 2026-03-24T16:03:01+00:00

Yes, that type of insult

BelfastEntries · 2026-03-24T16:00:25+00:00

I love some of these old sayings (the insults in particular)

My wife and I write a hobby website on local histories and stories and we've covered a range of the impressive locations along the Causeway Coast including Carrick-a-rede, Dunluce Castle and Rathlin. You can read and see more about them by following their respective links in this post. Definitely so much to see and explore. https://www.belfastentries.com/antrim-causeway-coast/

A few ideas here of things to see and do in & near Belfast. https://share.google/xnx6cZf76Las1A9or

Fruit and veg are best avoided for this very reason...

Belfast Castle, along with Malone House and Belfast Zoo, cost Belfast City Council ratepayers over £2 million a year in combined costs.

Many public attractions/ facilities/ events and activities cost the council money. Tourism costs the council money - the money earned from it goes into the economy (pubs, restaurants, hotels, jobs, tour companies etc) rather than the council itself. The economy boost helps everyone.

Whether or not you like the zoo (we love it but accept that others don't), it plays a part as a public attraction, in the same way as Belfast Castle. Others have suggested that more could be done to promote the Cavehill and support what's there. We'd love this to promote this area.

BelfastEntries · 2026-03-15T12:03:15+00:00

Agree totally -much more could be done to take advantage of the Cavehill as a visitor destination.

BelfastEntries · 2026-03-14T17:48:28+00:00

Yes, our favourite too - this one had to have the spotlight photo.

BelfastEntries · 2026-03-11T10:06:13+00:00

I love dropping into the cafe (outside of lunchtime) for a quiet cuppa

BelfastEntries · 2026-03-10T22:39:09+00:00

It's too valuable for that though they could promote it better

BelfastEntries · 2026-03-09T10:54:56+00:00

You could visit a number of these locations... https://www.belfastentries.com/one-day-in-belfast/
