Discover and rediscover the hidden gems of the Queen’s Quarter by ‘dandering’ around with our self-directed podcast!

Whether you are new to, or already familiar with the Queen’s Quarter, chances are you have yet to explore all its hidden gems. 

Our ‘Dander’ around the Queen’s Quarter is via a self-directed podcast.  

With two routes, we’ll take you on a tour around the main landmarks of the Queen’s campus, the sights right on its doorstep, and locations where you can take notice, relax, and get away from the hustle & bustle of studying! 

Getting outdoors into fresh air, particularly in the green spaces theme of #QUBeWell week, this will allow you to take a 40-minute break from studying to learn more about the community you are part of.  

You can choose from two routes:

• Pink Route
• Yellow Route

Pink Route

The Pink Route is slightly more advanced, as it contains some steep and/or gradual hills than the yellow route. If you need an easier route, consider listening to the yellow route instead.
