Cavehill Country Park in north Belfast has reopened to the public after being closed since yesterday (March 15) afternoon following the discovery of a suspicious object.

The Castle entrance of Cavehill Country Park off the Upper Hightown Road in north Belfast had been closed while police examined a suspicious object.

However it emerged this morning that an item was examined and declared as nothing untoward.

Sergeant Carey said: “The item has now been taken away and I would like to thank local people for their patience while we worked to ensure their safety.”
