River Farset

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The River Farset (Abhainn an Feirste in Irish) is a river in Northern Ireland, a tributary of the River Lagan. It joins the Lagan close to its outflow into Belfast Lough.

Belfast was founded as a ford across the Farset, and this is the origin of the city's name (Béal Feirste - The Mouth of the Farset)

The River Farset is now contained in ignominy within a pipe under Belfast's High Street.
