March isn’t the best of times for a holiday in Britain; and
so our itinerary was at the mercy of the weather. Once we’d worked out our
sunshine days; we decided to head out to Belfast Castle for a view of the city.
Today, this is more of a stately home used for wedding ceremonies rather than a
historical monument; but it’s an excellent base to explore the adjacent Cave
Hill park (which sadly we didn’t have time for). Instead we climbed from the
bus stop up the hill (which was a considerable climb and we could have saved
ourselves a few minutes by following the footpath) and took in a good value coffee
break inside the castle’s downstairs bar. The thought was quite novel but it
did feel like we were in the vicinity of a small pub. However, the outside
building and gardens are well worth seeing alongside the views of the city
below.
