Friar’s Bush Ancient Graveyard Tour – Whistlestop Tour

Our Graveyard Tours are not suitable for children under 16 unless exceptionally interested in history. Children over 10 are welcome if supervised. 

Friars Bush is located at 6 Stranmillis Road Belfast beside the Ulster Museum, a short walk or bus journey from the city centre. Arrive 10-15 minutes before your tour with sturdy walking shoes, rain-gear (macs, hoods and brollies as tour goes ahead rain or shine!) Torches are necessary for evening tours or dim light. Sun-cream, water  and sunhat  recommended in summer. The ground is uneven so may be unsuitable for wheelchairs/rollators. 

We do not receive any public funding yet  so unfortunately can not offer discounts. Cancellations, refunds etc or changed bookings only upon receipt of medical evidence.

Cairde na Cille volunteers are working  on an on-going basis during week and weekends to restore this ancient cemetery so additional donations are welcome for this worthwhile cause.(Link on our landing page).

 Please email us your feedback on mail@cairdenacille.org or if you are interested in volunteering and or well-being programmes (latter starting when funding is secured).  We look forward to seeing you soon.
