J3269 : New path, Minnowburn, Belfast (1)
taken 11 years ago, 3 km from Drumbeg, Co Down, Northern Ireland

Some photographs, taken on 12 March 2014, showing a new National Trust path through the Minnowburn beeches. It runs, in a loop, between the Ballylesson Road and the Milltown Road opening up a part of the beeches previously inaccessible. Extensively planted with young trees, it also gives new views, across the Lagan, to Barnett’s Demesne.
Some photographs of and from Shaw’s Bridge, Belfast.
There are two bridges, both called “Shaw’s Bridge” across the River Lagan on the Malone Road/Milltown Road. The first was built in about 1707 and was in use as a road bridge until 1977 when replaced, for motor vehicles, by a concrete structure of four lanes forming part of the Belfast outer ring road. The old bridge remains but restricted to pedestrians and bicycles.
