Cave Hill is a hill (or a mini Mount Everest) based north west of the city of Belfast. Being from the countryside in England I miss walking my dog through the rolling hills of the Peak District, yet because of Cave Hill, those feelings drift away. Once you scale the two and a half mile walk up to the top you are blessed with views that overlook the entire city and far further as far as Bangor, maybe even Scotland on a clear day. I love watching the ferries, cargo ships and planes enter through the Lagan and into the port. I have always loved hills and being able to climb to summits and peaks throughout my childhood. Cave Hill is a definite must on a clear day. This is the first time in my life where I have lived beside water and I love it. There is something about spending sunrises or sunsets by the water to get away from normality for a few minutes, all I need now is my 12 year old Border Collie to join me.
