Wonderful view from the memorial and over Belfast and Antrim and across to Scotland. Please be respectful of the site given its purpose, to comemorate those who gave their lives so we could enjoy this freedom. Definitely need transport unless a 4 mile hike uphill is your thing, although it is a stunning walk on taramac roads to the summit if you have the time and ability.
