Live it up in Lisburn and Castlereagh There’s so much to see and do in Lisburn and Castlereagh. From historic castles and ancient sites to an unrivalled shopping experience, there’s definitely something for everyone! If stunning scenery is your thing, then try hiking past plummeting waterfalls at
the wildly beautiful Cregagh Glen, or strolling around the elegant Moira Demesne, which dates from the 17th century. For history buffs, the area’s fascinating history will take you back to Stone Age
tombs and the hill where the Kings of Ulster were crowned, while, for the more sporty among you, you can tee off at top golf courses in spectacular settings, cycle, or run along the lovely Lagan Towpath and take part in the famous Lisburn Half Marathon. If it’s retail therapy you’re looking for, then you’ll find various giants of retail at
some of Northern Ireland’s finest shopping centres, such as Forestside, Sprucefield, Sprucefield Park and Lisburn’s Bow Street, as well as stylish boutiques, traditional markets and welcoming independent retailers throughout the area. Finally, if it’s sheer family fun you’re aiming for, then take the kids to some of the
fastest and longest water rides in Ireland at the recently-refurbished Lagan Valley LeisurePlex or Dundonald Ice Bowl, where they can enjoy an Olympic-size ice- skating rink, state-of-the-art bowling and the exciting Indianaland play kingdom.
