Lagan Towpath
The Lagan Valley Regional Park is a beautiful corridor of greenery springing from the southern districts of Belfast City. Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it has at its heart the River Lagan and the Lagan Canal. Using the Lagan Valley Towpath, walkers can follow this historic waterway for 11 miles through a patchwork of parks, mixed woodland, meadows and agricultural land to the city of Lisburn. The gentle yet varied walking on good footpaths is equally suited to both serious walkers and family groups.
