From the manor

3.1 km from Sheddington Manor, measured in a straight line from 144 Alliance Road, Belfast BT14 7JD. This is a planning estimate, not a road distance or a promised travel time. Open directions for your chosen route and transport.

See Belfast from above

Cave Hill is a landscape for walking rather than a single fixed attraction. Choose a route for your ability and the weather, take appropriate shoes, and check the council’s current trail notices. Views depend on conditions, so a clear forecast can help shape the day.

Plan the route before the walk

The guide distance is to the mapped destination, not the length of a walking trail. Check your start point, parking or transport and return route separately. Belfast Castle can provide another focus for a day in this part of the city.

Leave room for the outdoors

Choose footwear and layers for the terrain and forecast. Park entrances, trail closures and access can change, so check the managing organisation’s latest advice before setting off.

The council currently notes a partial Cavehill Trail closure between Devil’s Punchbowl and McArt’s Fort. Check the council’s current route advice before walking.

Before you visit

Use the official visitor information for current opening hours, admission, bookings, accessibility and any temporary changes. Sheddington Manor is an independent accommodation provider and is not affiliated with this attraction.
