Belfast Political Tour Locations
Shankill Road
Along with the neighbouring Falls Road, the Shankill Road, a mostly Protestant unionist area, is one of the most famous roads in Belfast, and it’s easy to see why.
Falls Road
West Belfast’s Falls Road was a violent flashpoint during the Northern Irish conflict. Falls Road is in a predominantly Catholic nationalist neighborhood that borders Shankill Road.
Peace Wall
If the walls of the cities could talk, they would tell us many stories, but in Belfast they do – and thousands of tourists come to visit the murals scattered around the city.
Cumlin Road Gaol
Crumlin Road Gaol opened its gates to prisoners in 1846 and for 150 years was a fully operational prison, housing murderers, suffragettes and loyalist and republican prisoners.
