East Belfast: Belmont & Strandtown

Where is Belmont ?

Belmont village is located in the east side of Belfast City, Northern Ireland. The area is also known locally as Strandtown. The main shopping precinct of the village, runs for the most part along the Belmont Road and the Holywood Road. 

Belmont is situated close to Ballyhackamore, the Holywood Arches (previously called Newbridge) and Connswater, East Belfast.

 Although locally referred to as 'the village', it was swallowed up by Belfast City many decades ago. It is now part of a thriving city, close to all amenities and only 5 minutes travel from Belfast City Centre.
