From the shipyard-built churches of the Newtownards Road to the Portland-stone grandeur of Stormont, this trail traces east Belfast's industrial faith and political power — best explored as two linked outings, roughly 4km apart, rather than one single stroll. Looking for things to do in Belfast? Start here — no car, no ticket, no booking.
