- Coilean56Belfast, UK28 contributionsThis graveyard is amazing and steeped in history. I could have listened to Deirdre all day. I was sorry when it ended.Written 6 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Frankie TBelfast, UK1,401 contributionsThere are some interesting graves in this cemetery and the City Cemetery across the road.
Why not combine it with a walk through the pleasant Falls Park which lies between the 2 cemeteries.
The glider G1 stops outside the City Cemetery and for £4 a day ticket it is the cheapest way to see Belfast West to east.
You can easily get out to the cemeteries by bus and back in about 2 to 3 hours. This will allow you time to see the main Republican plots, poor grave areas and war graves.
You can also jump off the bus at Clonard and have a look at the beautiful monastery.Written 26 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The guide had such a depth of knowledge of dates - events and put these into context as he moved between the various graves - his stories were so interesting, without being in any way disrepectful of the surroundings. He was able to touch on so many important parts of the history of Belfast and Ireland in such a way as to want you to find out more - a very skilled guide.Written 28 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
