The Glen Road, Belfast (1)
The Glen Road, Belfast (1)
There are three “Glen Roads” in Belfast – Andersonstown, Castlereagh and this one off the Belmont Road (background). Now just a track and still paved with a surface which might have been laid before the invention of the motor car. It leads around part of the former Glenmachan estate. There is no physical barrier across the road. There are council signs warning against dumping. Notwithstanding that, there is a possibility that I might have trespassed and, as a consequence, render myself liable for transportation to the Colonies. If you find this photograph unacceptable just ask for its removal.
For the record the draft Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan (2015) describes the area as follows “Scattered small glens with mixed woodland and broad-leaved plantation. Woodland mainly, Beech (Fagus sylvatica), Scot's pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur). The glens provide good wildlife corridors.“
