I've walked the towpath from Stranmillis to Blaris (Sprucefield) and cycled from Blaris to Stranmillis and back to Sprucefield.  Both means have been enjoyable.  The path is mostly flat and any inclines are gradual and not too taxing. 

Depending on the day and time it can either be quiete or a little busy, particularly around the Belfast end ie from Stranmillis to just beyond Shaws Bridge.  Beyond that on towards Lisburn is quieter.

It's a fabulous walk with plenty to look at.  You might even see the Seal near to the lock gates at Stranmillis.  Try this link for more info:-

Enjoy.
