  • Fair Head Tidal Information Day
    Welcome to Fair Head Tidal Information Day Fair Head Tidal (FHT) was awarded an Agreement for Lease from The Crown Estate in 2012 which grants it exclusive rights to carry out surveys on the site and, subject to securing the necessary consents, apply for a long term lease to use the site for the construction and operation of a tidal array with an installed capacity of up to 100MW. This exhibition outlines some of the survey work we have been doing on the site, an assessment of the findings and information on what we would be seeking to build. The next step is a formal planning application to the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to seek consent to build and operate the project. We welcome your feedback on this exhibition and our plans. Who we are Fair Head Tidal Project is a joint venture between two independent offshore renewable energy specialists, DP Marine Energy (DPME) and Bluepower NV. DPME is one of a group of companies headquartered in Cork operating under the DP Energy name. DP Energy View north across Murlough Bay towards Fair Head is a renewable energy and sustainable development specialist business which has been pioneering renewable energy projects for over 20 years, operating in sites across the world. In addition to its tidal interests it also has projects in wind, solar and energy storage. Bluepower NV is a company established by DEME Blue Energy and Nuhma, both Belgian companies. DEME is a marine construction group with roots going back 150 years. DEME has gained direct tidal installation experience as part of the installation team for the SeaGen device, the first commercial scale tidal turbine at Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland.

  • Recreation Guide
    RECREATION GUIDE GO EXPLORE Permit No. 70217 Based upon the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland Map with the permission of the controller of her Majesty’s Stationery Office © Crown Copyright 2007 A STRIKING VISUAL BOUNDARY The Belfast Hills make up the summits of the west and north of Belfast city. They form a striking visual boundary that sets them apart from the urban populace living in the valley below. The closeness to such a large population means the hills are becoming increasingly popular among people eager to access them for recreational activities. The public sites that are found across the hills certainly offer fantastic opportunities for organised and informal recreation. The Belfast Hills Partnership was formed in 2004 by a wide range of interest groups seeking to encourage better management of the hills in the face of illegal waste, degradation of landscape and unmanaged access. Our role in recreation is to work with our partners to improve facilities and promote sustainable use of the hills - sensitive to traditional ways of farming and land management in what is a truly outstanding environment. Over the coming years we will work in partnership with those who farm, manage or enjoy the hills to develop recreation in ways which will sustain all of these uses. 4 Belfast Hills • Introduction ACTIVITIES Walking 6 Cycling 10 Running 12 Geocaching 14 Orienteering 16 Other Activities 18 Access Code 20 Maps 21 Belfast Hills • Introduction 5 With well over half a million hikes taken every year, walking is the number one recreational activity in the Belfast Hills. A wide range of paths and routes are available - from a virtually flat 400 metres path at Carnmoney Hill pond, to the Divis Boundary route stretching almost seven miles (11km) across blanket bog and upland heath with elevations of 263m to 377m high.

Slemish is said to be where Saint Patrick tended livestock for his master during the 5th Century. Today large crowds walk to the top of the mountain as a pilgrimage to Ireland’s Patron Saint every year on St Patrick’s Day (17th March).
