The trip will take place on Fri 9th May 12noon – 4pm and packed lunch is included.

This coach-based excursion will take an east-west transect through Belfast. Starting at Stormont, along the Newtownards Road, through the Docklands/Titanic Quarter (and Game of Thrones Painthall) across to the city centre. We then visit the Peace Wall, Falls Road, Milltown Cemetery, to Hannahstown and finish in the hills of West Belfast. The field leader has worked on forensic geology cases along the route, from the Loyalist feuds of the 2000s, the legacy of the IRA campaigns and domestic homicides: these will be interspersed with the traditional bus tour stops, showing how our past legacy has turned to renewal, memorialization and regeneration.
