Albert Clock- Our own version of the leaning tower

Breaking Northern Ireland into bitesize pieces

Instead of focusing this page on the capital of Northern Ireland (Belfast) I've chosen to cover the key places in the north within the one travel guide.

It's a great place to explore and there are many hidden beauties along the way. I'm excited to see more and more tourists coming to my city over the past few years and I'd love to meet anyone who is thinking of paying a visit.

There are a handful of landmarks in the capital city and many more around the north which are a must-see if you're around this area. We've had a difficult time in the past with conflict and I'm happy to say that the conflict is much less prominant and the beautiful place that is N.Ireland has finally earned it's rightful status as a beautiful part of the UK to explore.

This guide

I'm gradually building upon my Belfast Travel Page. I'm hoping I can sway away from sounding like a guide book and speak to you in the way I'd speak to a tourist I might meet on the street. I'd love to hear any suggestions for topics/places to cover and I'll do my best to answer your questions. For me, writing this guide is a hobby and I hope I can make it as interesting as possible

The photos

I love photography and I'm a student at the Belfast Art College. I'm hoping all my pages will soon have my original photography and hopefully will begin to come to life a bit more.

Hi Tierna! what's up? How is Belfast these days? I heard you had severe floods in Ireland. Hope your city wasn't badly hit. Greetings from Sicily.

Great page on your home town. I have several friends who have visited Belfast now (from Spain) so it seems it is really taking off as a holiday location! :)
