Perched high on a promontory, the turreted Scottish baronial–style Belfast Castle overlooks the city. Built with the dwindling funds of the third Marquess of Donegall, the castle now functions as a restaurant, wedding venue, and events space. In the basement, a visitor center details the castle’s history and its connection to the adjacent Cave Hill Country Park. The ornamental gardens offer panoramic views of Belfast City Centre and Belfast Lough, providing a serene setting for visitors to explore.
