Stormont Trails Are Packing Them In…….

5 miles of the woodland estate are a new initiative uniquely designed to encourage locals and visitors to the area to learn more about the environment, wildlife and history of the estate.

Designed by award winning company, Brilliant Trails Ltd, the trails are supported by an interactive map and quiz and encompass three main themes which showcase the richness of the woodland and natural environment as well as detail the history that shaped the area.

In addition to the many health benefits, the trails provide a rich source of information; providing a visitor experience, that is historical, educational and fun for all ages. All trails are free of charge and open seven days a week.

A Department of Finance spokesperson said that it is continuing to promote and enhance the Stormont Estate as a visitor and tourist attraction: – “The introduction of the trails will help to connect visitors, families and particularly young people with the rich biodiversity of the Stormont woodlands and provide an insight into the history of the Estate.

 

Feedback from the opening of the trails has been very positive and the Stormont Estate Management Team is delighted with the initial public reaction to the trails which are a great addition to the beautiful Estate grounds.”

 

Allan Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer of Brilliant Trails added “We are delighted to see so many visitors at Stormont. Our sensory trails are designed to provide a unique opportunity to explore, learn new facts and interact with the local environment. It’s a different way of learning and provides an experience that everyone can get involved in.”
