The massive residential suburb of Newtownabbey lies just north of Belfast, providing homes for thousands of people who work in the city. Dozens of modern housing estates make up most of the landscape here, supplemented by industrial complexes. While no one would consider Newtownabbey a tourist destination, it certainly has plenty of retail and entertainment outlets such as Abbey Centre and Northcott Shopping Centre, which house dozens of restaurants and stores. Newtownabbey hotels are typical chain accommodation, useful more for their convenience rather than their ambiance. Between the suburb and Belfast is the natural rock outcropping known as Cavehill. Paths are easily traversed to the top, where hikers are rewarded with sweeping views over Belfast. Next door is the well-known Fortwilliam Golf Course, a popular place to get in a round of golf. Performance arts such as theatre, dance and music can be enjoyed at the Courtyard Theatre in Ballyearl Arts and Leisure Centre.
