Carnmoney Hill - Great Views Over Newtownabbey & Belfast

Hill walking on Carnmoney Hill - a nice walk up and around Newtownabbey, Co. Antrim. A nice walk near Belfast that is pretty quiet. If you fancy a short walk somewhere new - worth checking out this mini hill walk just off the Doagh Road in Newtownabbey (   • Climbing Carnmoney Hill, County Antrim; Hi...  ). Carnmoney Hill is a green oasis in an urban area which is rich in both history and wildlife. We choose to walk around the place in order to explore more of it but in addition to the gentle stroll around the foot of Carnmoney Hill which is a lower woodland walk and which would take maximum 30 mins, one could also choose the hilltop walk which is a little bit longer and which could last for almost one hour. Carnmoney Hill rises 232 meters above Newtownabbey which means that it could be seen from County Down, Belfast Lough, and some motorways in Belfast. The eastern side of the hill is mainly covered by ancient woodland with semi-natural grasslands and other habitats interspersed and the top of the hill has a volcanic tap yet the slopes are mainly of limestone and flint, joining mudstones at the coastel belt below. There are three different routes which one could choose to take while visiting the Carnmoney Hill and deciding to go for a walk; these are the red, the yellow, as well as the blue. The red route is considered the shortest one of them, the yellow is the one in the middle, while the blue is the longest - so it will always depend on how much you could resist and how much time you want to spend - keeping in mind that the blue route is considered the longest yet it is the one which will bring people to the view which they came to enjoy in the first place. If you are not getting the picture of it all and don't actually know which route is considered the best for you, you will find a map right there at the beginning which will provide you with all the details which you might be searching for. While walking through the hill, you will come across different historical ruins which we are not sure about what they were - since there weren't any written descriptions to tell us - we came across a chimney like building at the beginning of the trip and we also came across ruins that appeared to us like an old house - it was good to see that history took its place on this hill as well but it was bad because we failed to know more about what these ruins were. This is definitely a place which we would recommend for all those who are searching for new places where they could walk, enjoy the greenery of the place, sit within all these green areas, as well as get the chance to face different beautiful scenery looking down the city - just take care while climbing up there because it is not as easy as you think but you will get the chance to take your breath in the middle by sitting on the benches that are found there and at the same time you could also choose the shortest route out of those three offered to you - it is worth it, believe us. If you are still thinking about other places and options to go for in Newtownabbey then there are those which we visited and could recommend and share our experience at. In Newtownabbey, one could visit Antrim Castle Gardens (   • Antrim Castle Gardens - County Antrim, Nor...  ), Lough Shore Park in Antrim (   • Lough Shore Park Antrim - Watch the Sunris...  ), and Hazelbank in Newtownabbey (   • Hazelbank Newtownabbey - Sunrise at County...  ); those are the ones we have been to before and the ones which we would definitely recommend to those fans following us. Belfast, Northern Ireland, in general hosts lots of places and attractions that one could visit and check and since it is the capital city, lots of tourists tend to visit it and check its historical as well as modern places. Those attractions in Belfast which one could check include Ulster Museum (   • Ulster Museum Belfast; History, Art and Na...  ), Titanic Museum (   • TITANIC MUSEUM BELFAST Discover the Facts ...  ), Narnia & CS Lewis Square (   • Narnia & CS Lewis Square - Chronicles of N...  ), the Peace Wall (   • PEACE WALL IN BELFAST - Beautiful Wall Mur...  ), Victoria Park (   • Victoria Park Belfast Northern Ireland - C...  ), Stormont Parliament (   • Stormont Parliament in Belfast, Northern I...  ), City Hall (   • City Hall Belfast - A Tour of Belfast City...  ), St. Anne's Cathedral (   • St. Anne's Cathedral - Belfast Northern Ir...  ), the Milltown Cemetery (   • Milltown Cemetery - Steeped in "The Troubl...  ), Ormeau Park (   • Ormeau Park Off the Ormeau Road - County A...  ), the Crumlin Road Gaol (   • Crumlin Road Gaol Tour - Things to Do in B...  ), as well as other different destinations and even events which might be more related to specific times of the year; Christmas, Spring, etc. Carnmoney Hill should definitely be the place to go for when it comes to walking a little bit, enjoying some green spaces, as well as receiving a breathtaking view at the end of the road.
