Inspirational Ideas
Belfast is a compact city that nestles between the hills
and the sea; nature has endowed this region with some of the most
beautiful land and seascapes in Western Europe and we are fortunate
to have these wonderful natural facilities for our back garden and
not more than 30 minutes drive from the centre of Belfast. This
opens up a world of exciting opportunities for incentive travellers
and meeting organisers. Perhaps you have thought about a venue that
is unique and unusual? A country estate perhaps? An ocean going
yacht? A castle venue? A bishop’s palace perhaps? We have all these
wonderful facilities and more right on our doorstep.
Belfast Lough is a natural deep water harbour and sailing is at
its best; our member Sail NI utterly at home on the open sea and is
completely flexible and creative in developing bespoke programmes
to suit all skill levels from the first time sailor to the
qualified yachtsman. Perhaps you are a landlubber who is more at
home taking a four wheeler across rough terrain? Ireland Offroad
Experience is the consummate professional based in the beautiful
Clandeboye Estate and they guarantee to set your adrenaline pumping
at the wheel of a Land Rover. Clearsky Adventure Centre is based in
the Castle Ward Estate and Bluelough Adventure Centre is situated
in Castlewellan and both members provide custom designed team
building and outdoor activities that are enriching and
empowering.
Perhaps Golf is your bag? We are fortunate to have some of the
most beautiful yet testing courses and links around the city; the
Royal Belfast Golf Club is the oldest in Ireland while Malone Golf
Club, just 5 miles from the centre of Belfast is located in 300
acres of wooded parkland.
