The Van Morrison trail is a wonderful opportunity for you to visit some of the places that Morrison knew as a child growing up in East Belfast. This 3.5km trail will take you on a journey through the east Belfast of Van’s youth. The trail should take about two hours to complete, so wear a comfortable pair of shoes and be prepared for the weather – it isn’t always sunny in Belfast!
In his own words, “Belfast is my home. It is where I first heard the music that influenced and inspired me, it is where I first performed and it is somewhere I have referred back to many times in my songwriting over the past 50 years.” The Trail is a wonderful opportunity for you to visit some of the places that Morrison knew as a child growing up in this part of east Belfast. Many of these places, and the people who lived here, were to shape the character and values of ‘Van the Man’. You will discover on your journey that some of them are referenced in his lyrics and music.
