River Lagan

" My Lagan she flows softly from Slieve Croob down to the sea

Through Dromore and Dromara then close to Aghalee

From Lisburn down to Hilden, Lambeg and then Shaw's Bridge

To Belfast's salty waters where her lonesome journey ends."

Noel McMaster

It's hard to believe that this tranquil scene is only 1.5 miles from Belfast city centre!
The Lagan flows into Belfast Lough but it remains a fairly small, picturesque river until the last couple of miles when it opens out and flows into the lough.
