River Farset
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Farset (Abhainn na 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. The river formed a dock on High Street in the 19th century.
