About

The Connswater Community Greenway offers 16km of continuous cycle and walkway through east Belfast. Travel on bike or by foot from the Titanic Quarter through Victoria Park, via the Sam Thomspon Bridge and out to the heart of the Greenway, the unique event space and hub of activity, C.S. Lewis Square. Stop for refreshments at one of the numerous cafes along the route such as Jack Café and Lazy Claire. Try out some physical activity at one of the many play parks or leisure facilities located along the Greenway or take a stroll and catch a glimpse of the wildlife living in this unique urban green space.

The Linear Walk follows the Connswater Community Greenway along the course of three rivers that splits into two different routes - Victoria Park along the Connswater River following the route along the Knock River to Marsh-wiggle Way and Braniel, or Victoria Park along the Connswater River and following the Loop River up to Cregagh Glen. You’ll come across all sorts of wildlife and greenery to bring your walk to life.
Stop off at C.S. Lewis Square for some refreshments in EastSide Visitor Centre and explore the seven sculptures by Irish artist Maurice Harron inspired by the characters from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, before continuing your journey through Belfast’s own wildlife corridor.
