Lagan Towpath

The Lagan Towpath takes the walker along the river and canal system through a variety of wetland, riverside meadows and mixed woodland from Belfast to Lisburn. Home to a variety of wildlife, the canal system dates back to the late 18th century and many features still give an insight into the majestic era of the lighter - the name for the boats that originally travelled on the Lagan Canal. Please Note: the towpath will be closed between the entrances at Lambeg Bridge and McIlroy Park from 7th May 2019 to the end of May 2019.  This is to allow for essential repair work to be carried out on the towpath at Ballyskeagh Bridge.  There will be cordons and notifications at the actual locations on the towpath.
