Slieve True is a modest hill rising above Carrickfergus, offering a network of walking trails through heath and grassland. The summit rewards hikers with sweeping vistas of Belfast Lough, the Mourne Mountains, and the Antrim Plateau. It's a popular spot for local walkers and dog owners, with routes suitable for moderate fitness levels. The hill's open, breezy top provides a sense of escape just minutes from the town center.
