The Lagan Meadows, Belfast :: J3470

The Lagan Meadows is a public park of 120 acres administered by Belfast City Council. It’s more than that however. In practice it’s a piece of completely rural countryside preserved in the middle of the Stranmillis and Malone areas of suburban south Belfast not far from the Lagan towpath. Although undulating most of it is fairly easy going but unassisted wheelchair users might have difficulty in some places.
