Just outside Larne Town near Glenoe village is a little unknown hidden gem known as Clements' Wood. It is a small 10 acre woodland just off the busy Larne A2 Main Dual Carriageway and it consists of over 300 native trees, streams, graveled and bare ground paths and some old stone buildings, fortifications and an old watermill. The woodland also runs along the old disused Larne-Ballyclare Narrow Gauge Railway Line which is no longer in use today but you can still find some evidence of the old line today. This little woodland is great for getting some peaceful breathing space from the busier and noiser parklands in the area.

This forest park is amazing to talk through any time of year. With several hidden entrances, from the Lagan towpath via Shaw's Bridge and the Lockkeeper's Cottage, to the Galwally Avenue entrance, as well as the official entrance via the carpark in the Belvoir estate, there are many ways to get into this urban oasis of tranquility and nature. Just away from the carpark, you'll find the remains of a 12th century Norman motte, as well as an the site of an ancient village. The variety of tree species is also incredible, as a large portion of the park was planted as an arboretum by the Dungannons and Batesons, and this area includes some specimens of sequoia redwood and cedar. As well as this, there is a private Medieval graveyard with plots dating back to the 14th century. A short walk down the towpath to the Clement Wilson Park will bring you to Shaw's Bridge, built to allow Cromwell's gunners to cross the Lagan, and the remains of an ancient Irish ringfort. Belvoir Park Forest - a beautiful, peaceful place steeped in a thousand years of history.
