Cavehill is part of a country park, a beautiful place to explore with features of geological, archaeological, historical, literature and botanical interest. Its most interesting historical link rests on the rocky outcrop at the top of the hill. Known locally as Napoleon's Nose, its real name is McArts Fort. Dominating the Belfast skyline, it was here that prior to the 1798 Rebellion the United Irishmen, led by Wolfe Tone, Henry Joy Mc Cracken and other Irish Republican Presbyterians, took their oath to liberate Ireland from British rule. |
