Walk Details
We will walk down the side of Malone House towards the Lagan to Shaw’s Bridge and turn right along the river path. After a bit we will take a small track to the right which takes us through a forested area which leads out behind the Mary Peters Track. We will then follow the path back round to Barnetts Demesne to the front of Malone House. Most of the walk is on well maintained paths though the track through the forested area may be muddy. There will be some inclines on the walk but nothing too severe.
Lunch
A light lunch is available at Malone House in Cate Nosh but their menu is very limited so you may want to return to the centre of town for a more substantial meal. Alternatively you may wish to bring a packed lunch.
Return Journey – By bus 8b to Gt Victoria Street Train Station
Toilets – Available at the train station and at Malone House.
