Colin Glen

Nestled in the foothills of the Belfast Hills, lies Colin Glen. A 200-acre forest park steeped in history and heritage and home of some of the best adventure activity and sport facilities in the land.

Some say it gets its name from the Irish word for girl "cailín" which was used as a code name for the mass rock which was hidden there during penal times.

Perched on the edge of the Antrim Plateau, sandwiched between Black Mountain and Colin Mountain, and peppered with townlands such as Dunmurry and Tom O' The Tae, lies our glorious glen: a gateway to the Belfast Hills and a site of natural beauty – all close to the heart of the city.

Today, we are dedicated to improving the lives of young people through training and employment as well as providing facilities to improve the mental health and well-being of everyone who cares to visit.

As well as excellent educational opportunities, state-of-the-art sports facilities, Gruffalo walks, and a challenging 9-hole golf course, our customers can try their hand at some heart- stopping, adrenaline-pumping activities like Sky Trek, Black Bull Run which is - Ireland’s first Alpine Coaster, Ireland’s first Trackman Driving Range or River Rapid - Ireland’s longest Zipline!

We are a rapidly expanding business.  We are quickly becoming one of the main attractions in Belfast and have invested over £7M in a range of world class facilities.  And we are not stopping there.  Colin Glen is innovative and constantly looking to evolve and add the latest product to our portfolio.  

The organisation has big ambitions!
