Carnmoney Hill Local Nature Reserve — Attraction in Cloughfern

Very hilly (surprise surprise), most paths are grassy, but shoes with good traction is recommended. Wonderful views of north Belfast and Belfast Lough. Very peaceful and quiet, I was the only person there. Id say this place gets 1/10th or less the visitors...
