Blubberby Traditional Cache

Minnowburn is on the southern edge of Belfast, its meadows and woodlands rolling down to the Lagan river - perfect for a short stroll or the start of a longer walk.

Dander along the burn that gives the area its name, beeches towering above, past where generations of children fished for minnows.

Minnowburn is a green refuge set on the fringe of Belfast, It is owned and cared for by the national trust and this cache has been placed with their knowledge and permission. It is in the Lagan Valley Regional Park. Wooden chainsaw sculptures are dotted around the trail, there is a pond full of wildlife, and Terrace Hill has spectacular views of the Lagan Valley, to Beech woodland and the Lagan river. As well as guessing what the sculptures are about, see what wildlife you can spot

From the car park, follow the path from beside Minnowburn bridge upstream, along the bank of the Minnowburn itself, with young broadleaved woodland on your right.

After about 109 yards (100 metres), you'll come to a fork in the path with an engraved log sign. Take the left hand fork to the pond and around it, where you'll see the first of the sculptures

The pond area was a rarely visited part of Minnowburn until a few years ago when restoration began with dredging out. In 2010, work began to put a new accessible path around the pond and add a dipping platform. Keep an eye out and you might see ducks nesting in the reeds, frogs or a common newt feeding on the many insects that inhabit the pond.
