The huge sculpture is based on a character from the story
"The Childhood Records of Fionn".
The story tells of a fish that eats some hazelnuts that had fallen into the Well of Wisdom. After devouring the nuts, the salmon gained all the knowledge in the world. According to the story, the first person to eat the fish would then inherit all of its knowledge.
This sculpture of the legendary salmon was built in 1999 to celebrate the return of the fish to the River Lagan. Each of his tiles is decorated with text or images that relate in some way to an aspect of Belfast's history. According to local folklore, kissing the fish invokes wisdom.

Airport Road

Flat and wide but can be windy. Little traffic depending on time of day. Popular training roads in the evenings. Watch for docked cruise liners. Goliath and Samson cranes loom nearby. View across Belfast Lough to Carrickfergus and Knocka. Heavy odour of oil!

Creighton's Green Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Decent climb. Your reward is brilliant panoramic views of Belfast Lough below. Testy gradient From Holywood, but much easier drag up if approached from Newtownards / Scrabo Road.
