Cab Tours Belfast Black Taxi Tours

Tour operator

👍👍 Had the most incredible tour with William. The tour was so informative and interesting. Williams did an amazing job of being unbiased and telling us so much about the Troubles and what it was like for the people in that time and until present day. We felt so honoured to hear the stories from someone...

Ballycopeland Windmill

Historical landmark

👍👍 Our tour guide was Liz, she had a wealth of knowledge about the history not only of the windmill itself but of the many windmills that were spread around the whole island of Ireland. Listening to her talk about the day to day life of the families who worked in the windmill sent us back in time to d...

Breen Oak Wood

Nature preserve

👍👍 Such a beautiful place to have a walk. It was muddy underfoot in places, but you'd expect that after rain and being so close to water. There are many places where there are wooden bridges as the ground is a bit soggy. There's a stream running through the stunning green forest with a small picturesqu...

Blackhead Lighthouse

Historical landmark

👍👍 Don't expect to get into the Lighthouse grounds but as long as you know this you won't be disappointed with the views and the 'adventurous' walk. Best way to experience - Begin at the quaint Victorian Town of Whitehead and walk along promenade and then onto the 'Old Castle Road' that hugs the shorel...

Slieve Gullion Passage-tomb

Historical landmark

👍👍 Steep climb. 30 plus minutes up with no stop, similiar time to get down. Clear trail. Tomb entrance is on the side facing the parking lot. If you take a right at the pile of rocks, that's the tomb and the entrance is rather small. The tomb is large enough to stand inside.

Layd Old Church (State Care Monument)

Historical landmark

👍👍 Nice peaceful ancient Christian site. I include a photo of brief information from the board in Cushendall. The Holestone Cross (stone cross with a hole) is immediately to the left as you first enter the site at a gateway with an old stone stile. Also I include a photo of where the ruined church has...

Old Castle Archdale (State Care Monument)

Historical landmark

👍👍 Great spot for walks. There are level and easy walks around the Lough Erne peninsular and a shorter woodland river walk, good paths and suitable for push chairs and wheelchair users. Plenty of benches for resting and picnic/BBQ areas. Jetty also provides easy fishing access. The castle ruin is acces...

Slipways

Historical landmark

👍👍 The slipways are where the Titanic and Olympic were built; the slipways are well preserved with the outlines of the ships marked with LEDs. There are also markings of the smokestacks and lifeboats, which help to give an impression of the actual size of the Titanic.

Craigmore Viaduct

Historical landmark

👍👍 The highest of the arches is 126ft, making Craigmore the highest viaduct in Ireland. It is around a quarter of a mile long and is a prominent feature in the south Armagh landscape, visible for instance, from much of the surrounding upland.
