Belvoir Park

Introduction

Belvoir Park is an early-18th-century demesne in a commanding position above the River Lagan.

Features include mature trees, forest planting and the remains of an arboretum from the 1840s. The ornamental gardens include round ponds and a stream from the 18th century. In addition there is an Anglo-Norman motte, an ice house and a graveyard. Much of the site is now a golf course and housing development.
