From the car park
cross the old Shaw’s Bridge and take the ramps down to your left. At
the bottom turn left under the old bridge and follow the path until you
reach the Minnowburn. Turn right across the bridge over the Minnowburn
and follow the riverside path, on the way take time to explore the
small Edenderry Nature Reserve. Continue, passing the Gilchrist Bridge
just before you reach Edenderry village. Cross the road and continue
until you come to a mini roundabout. Take the first street on your
left: at the end you will find a narrow path up the side of the church
hall. Follow this path round the back of the houses and a grass path
across the field. On reaching a stile, turn right, following the fence
line till you reach the Giant’s Ring. Take time to explore the Giants
Ring and enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside. Retrace your
steps along the field boundary: at the stile continue straight ahead
into Minnowburn, until you reach Ballynahatty Road. Watching for
traffic, turn right for about 15 metres, taking the stile on your left.
Continue along this path until you reach the Edenderry Road. Cross the
road, and follow the path down towards the Lagan. Take the boardwalk to
your right and follow it back to the riverside path and retrace your
route back to Shaw’s Bridge. Adjacent to Shaw’s Bridge are Barnett
Demesne and Clement Wilson Park. http://www.walkni.com/Walk.aspx?ID=85
