If you are a Narnia and mighty Aslan fan do visit C.S Lewis Square when you are in Belfast. C.S Lewis Square at Holywood Arches is just 0.5 km from the city center is at the heart of Connswater Community Greenway. You can explore 7 magnificent sculptures created by Irish Artist Maurice Harron and one by local artist Ross Wilson based on characters from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe written by the legendary author C.S Lewis.
The place has a dramatic landscape featuring almost 300 trees including Scots Pine, cedar, magnolia and cherry and the Connswater river flowing which inspired young C.S Lewis to create the magical world of Narnia. You can also take a stroll to St. Mark’s Church, where his grandfather was rector and where Lewis himself was baptized, and No. 47 Dundela Avenue where a Blue Plaque marks where the writer was born.
C.S Square is one of the Northern Ireland’s most exciting public places. With a capacity of 2000 it regularly hosts fitness classes, community events and markets. We visited C.S Square on a bright Saturday morning and chanced upon Urban market where they sell all handmade products ranging from delicious food to homewares paintings jewelries scents and other gift items. Urban Market is held 1pm -5pm third Saturday of every month in C.S Lewis Square .
