Cavehill
Ward in Belfast, Northern Ireland
| Coordinates: | 54.637, -5.949 |
|---|
Cavehill sits on the north side of Belfast in Northern Ireland, named after the dramatic basalt ridge that forms a natural backdrop to the city. The ward includes access to Cave Hill Country Park, the ruined hillfort known as McArt's Fort and the distinctive "Napoleon's Nose" profile, all of which offer popular walking routes and panoramic views over Belfast and Belfast Lough.
Primarily a suburban mix of residential streets, local shops and community facilities, the area benefits from good links into the city centre and modest visitor traffic for outdoor recreation. Local history and folklore - including the long-noted suggestion that the hill inspired Jonathan Swift - give Cavehill a strong local identity, with active community and conservation groups helping balance urban life with accessible green space.
