Camp Twaddell from the top of Woodvale Road
Camp Twaddell was set up in response to the 2013 decision of the Northern Ireland Parades Commission that the 12th of July Orange Parades could march past the Ardoyne shop fronts in the Catholic Ardoyne Ward on their way into the city centre in the morning, but could as was traditional not march along an 800m section of the road past the shops on their return in the evening. The marchers claim that they have not been able to return home and set up a permanent protest camp - Camp Twaddell in Twaddell Avenue close to the Ardoyne roundabout.

Approaching the Ardoyne roundabout on Woodvale Road
Beyond the roundabout is the Ardoyne Shops flashpoint. In 2013, the Parades Commission which regulate all marches in Northern Ireland in its wisdom ruled that the 12th of July Orange Parades can march past the Ardoyne shop fronts on their way into the city centre in the morning, but cannot march along an 800m section of the road past the shops on their return in the evening. The marchers claim that they have not been able to return home and have set up a permanent protest camp - Camp Twaddell in Twaddell Avenue near the roundabout. A police presence has been maintained throughout to help preserve the peace at a cost of some £300,000 a week.
