Clement Wilson Park — Attraction in Belfast

As well as a walk along a footway that goes through a nature reserve, you also come to what was in The 19th Century a canal with a lock at the end of it. The Lock keeper who worked at the lock, lived in a cottage beside the lock & what was at one time a shed, is now An Inn, where you can sit down & have a cup of tea, coffee or a fresh drink.

It’s well worth a visit and experience what it would have been like 150/200 years ago here....

But why do some park in double yellow lines. It makes getting in and out so awkward. Stop parking on double yellow lines. When carpark is full it means no more room. Go somewhere else and don't be selfish. Clement Wilson park is...
