BELFAST TO CARRYDUFF GREENWAY
“The Carryduff Greenway”
The people of Carryduff have seen the development of the Connswater Community Greenway and hatched their own unique plan of action – building a movement from the ground up to create a vision of a linear park linking the town centre and Lough Moss leisure complex with the Mealough Reservoir and down into Knockbracken, Cairnshill and Belvoir.
