Experts' Choice Award Belfast Castle
What the experts agree on
This dramatic Victorian mansion commands Cave Hill's slopes with striking turrets and formal gardens. Now a luxury restaurant with visitor center below, it's worth visiting for the setting alone—stunning views justify the trip even if dining.
“This spectacularly baronial castle... functions primarily as a restaurant, it also houses, in the cellar, the Cave Hill Visitor Centre.”
– Fodor's
