Overview

Belfast is a city still marked by one of the most intensely documented urban conflicts of the 20th century. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll cross between Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods, tracing how decades of division shaped the streets, the murals, and the people who lived through it. The tour starts at Divis Tower in West Belfast, where a plaque remembers Patrick Rooney, aged nine, one of the first children killed during the Troubles. From there, you'll walk past St. Comgall's Primary School, the site of an early gun battle in 1969. You’ll also pass the site of the 1993 Frizzell’s fish shop bombing, where nine civilians were killed. Returning along the Catholic Falls Road and the towering peace walls, you’ll see the imposing corrugated iron and concrete barriers that still divide parts of the community today. The tour ends at the famous Bobby Sands mural, a powerful symbol of the 1981 hunger strikes that drew worldwide attention to the Maze Prison.

Activity itinerary

Conor's Corner (Pass by)

Discover this locally recognised mural spot named for Conor, a Belfast street artist known as "the people's artist." Learn how he'd sketch neighbours and everyday shopfronts on the sly, hiding loose sketchbook pages inside a newspaper while pretending to read the sports results.

Garden Of Remembrance, Belfast City Hall (Pass by)

Gaze across the road at the black gates marking the Garden of Remembrance and, just beside it, the H-Block Memorial. Both commemorate Irish republican paramilitaries, local civilians, and former prisoners who died during the conflict, including those connected to the H-Block hunger strikes.

Peace Wall (Pass by)

See the imposing corrugated iron and concrete peace walls that still divide parts of the community today. Enjoy the chance to view them up close, touch them, and even write a personal message of your own.

Shankill Road Memorial Garden (Pass by)

Visit the Shankill Memorial Garden, a quiet space honouring members of the Protestant community who lost their lives during the Troubles. Pause here to reflect on the losses felt on this side of the peace walls.

Solidarity Wall (Pass by)

Walk along the world-famous International Solidarity Wall, where murals connect West Belfast's struggle to conflicts in Palestine, Cuba, and beyond. Explore how these political murals became a global language of resistance and support across communities far from Belfast.

Divis Tower (Pass by)

Stand before Divis Tower in West Belfast, where a plaque remembers Patrick Rooney, aged nine, one of the first children killed during the Troubles. This is where the tour begins, marking the start of decades of urban conflict that shaped the city around you.

Falls Road (Pass by)

Finish at the famous Bobby Sands mural, a powerful symbol of the 1981 hunger strikes that drew worldwide attention to the Maze Prison. This iconic image marks the end of your journey through Belfast's divided but resilient communities.

Falls Road Library (Pass by)

Pass this Grade II listed Carnegie library, opened on 2 January 1908 and built with funds donated by Scottish-American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Notice the ornate spandrel angels over its entrance, the work of Irish artist and sculptor Rosamund Praeger.
