Gilnahirk

united kingdom

Gilnahirk is a residential area in east Belfast, just 2km from the city centre via the A20 Knock Road. The district connects easily to the A2 coastal route toward Bangor and the M1 motorway system through Belfast's ring roads. With George Best Belfast City Airport 5km away and over 150 EV charging points nearby, it's well-positioned for both local journeys and longer trips along the Antrim Coast or toward the Mournes. The name derives from the Irish for "wood of the ark," referencing ancient woodland that once covered these gentle hills.
