Reviews
"Cute place to visit! I loved the lion. It has some nice places to sit as well."
"Good park to hang out at. Get to take a picture of the lion of Narnia. Problem is, it is far from town centre, so wouldn't recommend if you are there to see the square only. The walk to the square is filled with murals that are interesting (Newtownards Rd), which made the journey nice, but otherwise, would only recommend if you have time to visit."
"Very nice walk if you like Narnia books/movies. The writer lived in this neighbourhood! You can get a map inside the coffee shop of all the statues location. On the wardrobe you can read a bit about the work of CS Lewis. It's also nice to take pictures :)"
