    This charming sculpture is near where our cruise ship docked so we were able to walk around it and get a good look. Modern art at the port, a tribute to the fishing industry.

    Worth making the trip from central Belfast if you are a Narnia fan. Striking statues, especially Aslan, and a good photo opportunity.

    We were told about these stained-glass windows when we went to the Game of Thrones studio tour, so made sure we fitted the trail in on our final day in Belfast. It was well worth doing, the pieces are stunning in detail and represent many elements of the story. Despite it being a rather windy day we enjoyed the walk around the harbour and also discovered the big fish along the way. We had already been told that one of the windows had been removed due to damage, which was a shame as it would have been great to have seen them all - hopefully it will eventually be reinstalled.

    Obviously, it’s only as exciting as a small statue can be, but it’s a pleasant sight. It’s very close to The Crown Liquor Saloon (a popular tourist attraction), so it’s worth seeing if you’re in the area.

    Our children loved The lion, the witch and the wardrobe. This statue is a lovely tribute to C.S. Lewis whose imagination created the lovely story.
    Good views from the city sightseeing bus, where you can also stop by to look at the Square and statue.

    Great to see them again. Pretty roughly made, not attractive or accurate. That being said they're a great size for passers-by to interact with. It is a sculpture that people respond to. I've seen kids sitting on the sheep, and having a ball. Its tough enough to handle it. Great site for it, with lots of pedestrians passing and lots of room around to appreciate the artwork. The avenue of trees is a sympathetic addition.

    Highly educative walking tour led by Dara Bennett not only informed us of the history of this and other cemeteries, but also weaves in a fascinating discourse on the economic and social history of Belfast, and also of a diversity of colourful characters who have shaped its evolution over the past two Centuries.

    Within the grounds of City Hall of Belfast there are a number of different statues and monuments and if ou have a bit of time I would suggest taking a walk in the grounds and having a look at them. Frederick Temple monument is one of the grander statues. Possibly reflecting his status in the city?

    The Giant's Ring is a neolithic monument set on high ground above the Minnowburn area. It is a circular mound of earth which was probably higher when first built and encloses an area of several acres.
    It may have had a wooden pallisade on the mound and may have served to offer protection to the ancient people.
    In the centre is a structure of standing stones which some say served as a tomb.

    Like many places across the UK there are memorials to remember the people who died during the First World War and in many places there are tributes to further conflicts.

    In the grounds of Belfast City Hall there is a memorial to the Royal Irish Rifles regiment and the part they played in the Boer War. It is a fitting tribute and I hope it makes people think about this in the present day and remember the men who made that sacrifice.

    The Lord Kevin Statue is just inside the Botanic gates. There are pathways that lead to beautiful flower gardens as well at Queens University. It’s a great place to go for an evening walk.

    There is a statue of Sir Edward James Harland in the grounds of Belfast City Hall. I believe that he was part of the famous shipyard which has launched many ships to sail around the world.

    It's good there is a statue of him here to remember his legacy which is still in operation to this day.

    The Hall of Friendship is part of the Home Front exhibition at NI War Memorial. I did have to ask the member of staff to point out the Hall of Friendship area as there are no actual markings (I was expecting him to direct me out into a hall!). He explained that it is one corner of the main exhibition (top left corner at window). He also did explain that as they had to move from Waring Street to their new home in Talbot Street the exhibition was condensed to be able to fit everything in. It was good to know that there had been such good friendships between the American forces & the Northern Irish people during the 2nd World War.

    Glad I called in for a visit.

    A clever installation depicting Titanic as a sprue from an Airfix kit. Even to some parts being painted on the sprue. As someone who makes model kits I really liked this installation. Easy to spot at Abercorn Basin.
