Pure magic
Divis and the Black Mountain really is an awesome place. Local man Don Morris was inspired so much that he even wrote a song about it, appropriately named My Black Mountain.
The Belfast Hills
The mountains rest in the heart of the Belfast Hills, which provide the backdrop to the city’s skyline. The rich, varied archaeological landscape is home to a host of wildlife. There are walking trails along a variety of terrain: through heath, on stone tracks, along boardwalks and road surface.
