Rivers of Divis - Guided Walk

The history of a city starts with a river...Find out how rivers have shaped Belfast on a guided walk at Divis.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

The Belfast hills, including Divis & the Black Mountain contain the sources of many of the rivers that flow into the city. These rivers were instrumental in the linen and industrial industries which created the Belfast we know today.

Join the team for a guided walk to see these rivers for yourself, and learn more about the fascinating history of how water has helped shape the city of Belfast as we know it - and how the hills still play an important part in this today.
