Yesterday we walked part of the Comber Greenway.  The Greenway is a 7mile traffic-free section of the National Cycle Route running from Belfast to Comber along the old railway line which closed in 1950.  The traffic-free walking and cycling route begins in Dee Street in East Belfast and from the Holywood Arches to the Comber Road it provides a delightful green finger through that part of the city.

We started at C S Lewis Square, the old Hollywood Arches where the Newtownards and Holywood Roads meet.  The first few hundred metres were disappointing as we had to negotiate the makings of this year’s bonfire.  However, once past this point, the Greenway is very well maintained and broad enough to accommodate walkers, cyclists and dogs.

We intend to continue walking the Greenway as far as Comber.  It is also possible to start in the city centre and to reach C S Lewis Square via the very beautiful Victoria Park.  However, these are both walks for another day.
