Hazelbank ParkPark · 668 ydExplorer Tom Hazelbank Park might be a quiet corner where you can lose track of time reading a book under a tree.

Millennium MilepostVisitor information · 1039 ydExplorer Tom Another Millennium Milepost on the foreshore path between Belfast and Whiteabbey, guiding cyclists along National Cycle Route 93.
St. John's Church Of Ireland ChurchChurch · 1177 ydExplorer Tom St. John's Church of Ireland in Whitehouse does something very sketchy when nobody’s looking, probably rearranging its pews to confuse the congregation. Built in the 1840s and still full of secrets it won’t share with you. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Gideon's GreenPark · 1195 ydExplorer Tom I wonder if Gideon's Green is named after a local hero who loved to play football on these very pitches.
The WhitehouseThe whitehouse, 17th century bawn · 1213 ydExplorer Tom The Whitehouse in Whitehouse is a seventeenth-century bawn that looks like it's waiting for a paint job. The ghost living there is too lazy to even haunt properly, probably napping on the windowsill. Stick around for the light changing, because honestly, it's a show you didn't ask for but can't look away from.

Railway BridgeBridge · 1327 ydExplorer Tom Railway Bridge in Whitehouse is guarding a hidden treasure that I am ninety percent sure is just a rusty biscuit tin from 1954. It’s Grade B2, so don’t get too excited, but do look mysterious. Take a breath of that air; it’s older than your car.

Cave Hill CaveCave · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Cave Hill Cave is nestled near Newtownabbey, and I bet it feels like a natural shelter from the wind.
McArt's FortMountain / peak · 2.2 miExplorer Tom McArt's Fort stands silhouetted against morning sun, with fog rolling over Belfast Harbour below in County Antrim.
Belfast Castle Estate TrailWalking route · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Just outside Newtownabbey, the Belfast Castle Estate Trail invites a stroll through history near Cave Hill Country Park.

I bet the ghosts are still trying to find their helmets. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
