Divis and the Black Mountain

Divis and the Black Mountain is a vast upland area managed by the National Trust, offering panoramic views over Belfast and beyond. Families can explore open moorland, heath, and woodland on well-marked trails. Highlights include the summit of Black Mountain (390m) with its trig point and stunning city backdrop, and Divis Mountain (320m) where you can spot wildlife like skylarks and foxes. Best for children aged 5+ who enjoy hiking and nature. The terrain can be boggy and steep in places, so sturdy footwear is essential. There is a small visitor centre at the car park with information and basic toilets. No cafe on site; bring your own picnic. Parking is free for National Trust members, otherwise pay and display. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
