Take
a walk with us and find out how a sandy ford became a powerhouse of trade
and industry, a hotbed of political unrest, and the place that supplied
Sherlock Holmes with his overcoats.

Distance: Two miles
Time: Two hours
Advice: The whole walk is on pavement
and tarmac and is accessible for wheelchair users and parents with buggies.
There is an incline onto the footbridge over the Lagan at Donegall Quay
but the ramp is in a spiral and not too steep.

City Hall and ending a short distance away from there in Donegall Street.

your mobile phone with characters from past and present sharing their
experience of Belfast with you.
