Hall Hill Farm
I went to Hall Hill Farm to see the animals and i decided to film some of it while i was there
Could this elephant fit in your back garden?
A new movie, Zoo, is the story of Sheila, an elephant kept in a Belfast back garden to avoid bombing during World War Two.
Our own 'elephant', the same size as Sheila would have been at the time, went to see how difficult it would be for an elephant to live in a back garden in Belfast.
Belvoir Park in Belfast, Northern Ireland ????????????
Belvoir Park Belfast - The Forest in the City. Have you ever been there?
Belvoir Park Belfast is located near the city of Belfast, the Belvoir Park Forest is rife with wildlife, including Large Bracket Fungi and flowering plants, such as the Giant Hogweed, as well as birds such as the Long-eared Owls, and mammals such as the red squirrels.
Managed by the Forest Service, Belvoir Park Forest walks within the forest link to the Lagan River 'Towpath' and the Lagan Valley Regional Park (
It is close to Belvoir Park Golf Club, Belvoir Park Hospital and Forestside Shopping Centre and it is open to visitors 24 hours a day.
Interesting Landmarks
• Belvoir Motte
The Belvoir motte dates back to the Norman era when John de Courcy invaded Ulster and established settlements at Dundrum and Carrickfergus. The motes were set up as defense against the southern approaches to Carrickfergus.
• Woodland
The Belvoir Park Forest is home to almost thirty-five species of birds, including common resident species, such as blackbird, song thrush, robin and woodpigeon and more unusual species such as jay and long-eared owl.
• Medieval Graveyard
A private graveyard is located within the Park and has been in there since the 14th century. Currently, it holds the empty tomb of the Dungannon family.
• Arboretum
The previous estate owners, the Dungannons and Batesons, planted many trees in park. Thanks to them, there are now numerous mature specimens of trees, such as redwood and cedar.
History of Belvoir Park Belfast
The Hill family settled at Belvoir in the early 18th century and built a large house that stood on the site of the current car park. In the 19th century, the Hill family sold the estate to the Batesons, whose son became Lord Deramore in 1885. The Deramores returned to England at the end of the 19th century and leased the estate to Walter H Wilson, a partner with Harland and Wolff. The last private tenant at Belvoir was Sir James Johnston, who was the Lord Mayor of Belfast in 1917-18.
“Belvoir’s trees are living landmarks, home to thousands of species of plants and animals, yet sadly lacking the recognition they deserve”, says Nikki Williams, Ancient Tree Hunt project manager. She also adds that “anyone can visit the web site and add their discoveries. Identifying their whereabouts is an important first step in securing their future - both for the benefit of wildlife and for the enjoyment of generations to come... We want to give as many people as possible in Northern Ireland the chance to get to grips with our remarkable old trees, and Belvoir Park Forest provides the perfect venue. With its extensive parkland and woodland, Belvoir is home to an impressive number of veteran trees which have seen centuries come and go. This event is brimming with activity. It’s a chance to learn how to identify and record our ancient trees, and it’s also an opportunity to simply enjoy the beauty of woodland. We have a creative agenda in store for kids as well, so there’s something for all the family.”
Definitely worth visiting Belvoir Forest - there are not too many forests of this size and diversity in Belfast.

W5 Belfast Northern Ireland - Things to Do in Belfast
A little bit of fun is needed in the middle of all the historical buildings and places which people will be visiting. W5 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is a place for both kids and grownups which they could go and have some fun in a different kind of way.
W5 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is a science centre that is full of discovery and wonder. There are over 250 amazing and interactive exhibits in four incredible exhibition areas which will provide a different kind of experience and fun time for all the different ages out there. Inside the W5 there are those permanent exhibits as well as those changing programs that are not there all the time which are of large and small scale temporary exhibitions and events and there is also a daily programme of live science demonstrations and shows throughout the day.
Through the experience we had in the place, we could say that there are lots of things to be done and lots of games to be played. There are six different sections in the place in which one will experience and discover something different than the other.
The first place to pass by and go through in W5 is the ground floor; the ground floor starts with meeting the Robothespian which is a life-sized, humanoid, interactive robot that kids love because it could communicate; move, speak, educate, interact, and entertain. On the same ground floor there is also the shop where there are different unusual and educational gifts that range between books, toys, and science kits.
Getting done with the first part which is the ground floor, you could then move forward to reach the second partition which is Spacebase. In this multi sensory activity zone which is for 3-11 years old, there are two different things the kids could enjoy doing: first, they could race to the top of the giant rock either through going up the launch gantry or climbing through the spider tower, and they could also enjoy becoming space explorers with the art wrist band technologies.
The third part or section in W5 is the discovery part that is dedicated for all those under 8 years old which contains 16 themed areas with over 50 interactive exhibits. There are different environments which the kid could choose from which range between the art studio, the farmyard, beach, castle and in every single one of them the kid will do something different; it might be drawing, paddling through the pool, flicking through digital storybooks, etc. There is also the Donnelly Garage Group in the discovery area where the kid will be allowed to build his/her own Formula One Car - the kids got really excited about putting those different stickers and creating a different looking car for themselves.
There are different sections which we have passed by and the fourth one out of those six found there is named Go. This part is about exploring health, hygiene, genetics, geology, electric circuits, flight and forces; it is the most scientific part of the whole place which I believe is very information when it comes to kids and children. In this part, kids could build their K'nex car and race against their friends and family on the race track, and they could also enjoy playing the pulley chair by pulling themselves up - we played this along with our kids to see who could manage to win at the end =)
Coming to the part that is just before the ending on this amazing - yet tiring - place is the climbit. Climbit is a multi storey climbing structure that is considered the first of its kind in UK and Ireland and which combines between physical fun, exploration, and art. This thing is specifically designed for climbing and is a cross between a maze and a jungle gym - good for those kids who love to always explore things, climb places, and enjoy the new different things which they might be experiencing for the first time.
The last section in W5 is the see and do where the kids will design and build structures, bring robots to life, make different patterns, and play virtual sports. The first part is the reality experience where the art projection technology will put the kid at a center of a big sceen action. In this section there is also the construction zone where the kids will get creative and use their imagination in order to build places with using natural wood blocks, bricks, logs, and shapes.
It was a really different experience because we and the kids enjoyed the place and had lots of fun with them there - the first time to come across such a place in Belfast and Ireland in general.
There are lots of things to do in Belfast ( and when it comes to kids, there are other good places to head for, like the S13 ( the Turoe Pet Farm in Galway ( as well as lots of other places that suit the whole family.

'Sheep on the Road', Sculpture by Deborah Brown Belfast
I'm standing down in front of the famous dome shaped concert venue Belfast Waterfront Hall. The well known sculpture Sheep on the Road by Deborah Brown compliment the city scene by reminding us of our rural Northern Ireland roots.
It is a life-size bronze of six sheep and a shepherd, sculpted in 1991 by acclaimed Northern Irish sculptor, Deborah Brown. It was originally commissioned by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland for their sculpture garden at Riddell Hall, Belfast. In 1999 it was purchased by Laganside Corporation, after relocation of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, and relocated to the entrance to the Waterfront Hall, Lanyon Place, Belfast.
Deborah Brown was born in Belfast in 1927. Brown was brought up in Belfast, and spent the war years in the peaceful and scenic Cushendun district of Co Antrim
Brown’s works are represented in the Collections of the Ulster Museum, the Arts Council of Ireland, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, and in many private collections in Ireland and abroad. Now in her seventies, Deborah Brown’s recent work in bronze include a ‘Towers’ series, and the themes of shelter and waiting.

SOT Margaret From my work with UNICEF I have found that, no matter where there is conflict in the world, it is always children who suffer most. They lose their parents, they lose their homes and sometimes they even lose their lives;
WS at podium, introduces President Clinton;
SOT President Clinton Now you have a chance to know the incomparable and dive to a future. You have dared to dream of a better tomorrow, now you dare to build one. That is even better.
