Cave Hill by Night with Big Dave

About

Welcome to the original Cave Hill walking tour with your experienced local guide, Big Dave from Belfast!

When you book this tour I will meet you at the west gate of Cave Hill Country Park (approximate meeting time is 6.30pm in winter or 8.30pm in summer. Exact meeting time to be confirmed upon booking). We will then walk the 4.5 mile / 7 kilometre trail up through the forest and to the top of the Cave Hill (1207ft / 368 mt high) and back down. (Trail is 4.5 miles in total, not each way!!). We will stop for breaks on request. I offer three different trails and all walking trails are undertaken at your own risk.

Trail 1: Basic fitness required, gradual climb, mostly level surface
Trail 2: Moderate fitness required, moderate climb, mixed surface (tree roots, stones, mud)
Trail 3: Good fitness required, steep climb, uneven surfaces (tree roots, rocks, mud and scrambling on all fours)

The flash lights to light up the dark trail will be provided at the start of the walk. At the summit we will be able to look out over Belfast city at night and enjoy a hot 'Norn Iron' toddy drink along with a well known and tasty snack that is made here in Northern Ireland.

It is recommended to wear practical shoes (appropriate sole for forest trails) and dress appropriately to the weather forecast. If doing trail 3 I recommend wearing gloves.

This experience takes approximately 3 hours.
