This towpath offers a pleasant walk or cycle alongside the River Lagan and canal from the Stranmillis area to Shaw's Bridge or vice versa. The towpath is suitable for all mobility levels because it is flat with the exception of one small bridge at the Shaw's Bridge end of the path. The path is well used even midweek by walkers, dog walkers and cyclists. There is plentiful signage, too. Some nice wildlife paintings can be seen near to Stranmillis. Pleasantly, there was little litter and dog mess to be seen on the day of our visit. Free car parking can be found at Shaw's Bridge. If you like wildlife, it may be possible to see Kingfishers, Grey Wagtails, Blue Tits, Pied Wagtails, Moorhens, Mallards etc along the way. Overall, it was a pleasant experience on the edge of the city.
