Places to see in ( Ballymoney - UK )

Ballymoney is a small town and civil parish in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is currently served by Ballymoney Borough Council. The civil parish of Ballymoney is situated in the historic baronies of Dunluce Upper and Kilconway in County Antrim, and the barony of North East Liberties of Coleraine in County Londonderry.

Ballymoney has expanded in recent years and a lot of new houses have been built. This is primarily as a result of high house prices in the Coleraine/Portstewart/Portrush 'Triangle' areas shifting first-time buyers to the less expensive Ballymoney area. Ballymoney is located on the main road between Coleraine and Ballymena, with good road and rail connections to the main cities in Northern Ireland, Belfast and Derry.

The Ballymoney area has the highest life expectancy of any area in Northern Ireland, with the average male life expectancy at birth being 79.9 years and 84.8 years for females in years between 2010 and 2012. Conversely, it was revealed in 2013 that Ballymoney residents are more likely to die from heart disease than anywhere else in Northern Ireland. The town hosts the Ballymoney Drama Festival, the oldest drama festival in Ireland, which was founded in 1933. The town also hosts the Ballymoney Show, which is one of the oldest agricultural shows in Northern Ireland and was founded in 1902.

Ballymoney is one of the oldest towns in Ireland with many buildings of historic note in the town centre.

An old church tower dating from 1637 is the town's oldest surviving building.
Another striking feature is the town clock and Masonic hall, built in 1775 by the 6th Earl and 2nd Marquis of Antrim. The hall was used as a market house, courthouse, town hall and school.
The town hall was erected in 1866.

Ballymoney railway station opened on 4 December 1855, and was closed to goods traffic on 4 January 1965. The refurbished railway station was opened in May 1990. It was one terminus of the Ballycastle Railway, a narrow gauge railway which ran 17 miles connecting Ballycastle to Ballymoney, on the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway (BNCR), later Northern Counties Committee (NCC), main line to Derry, and closed in July 1950.

Derry Londonderry-An Amazing View of the Maiden City-Everyone should visit Derry and walk the walls.

Check out Derry now in this short video, see what Derry daily life is like. Derry is the 2nd city of Northern Ireland, it is situated in the UK, but on the Island of Ireland. It is often called the Maiden City or the Walled City in Northern Ireland.

Sometimes it is referred to as Derry and in other cases it is called Londonderry and this has been the subject of a name dispute between Irish nationalists and unionists; nationalists are the ones to call it Derry while unionists are those who refer to it as Londonderry. When it comes to the legal side, it is known as Londonderry.

It is not about the name of the city but it is about the things to do there and the places to visit in it. Our journey in this beautiful city started with Londonderry Courthouse which is one of the old buildings that are found in the city and which you will at some point pass by.

Austins was the second place to pass by in Derry/Londonderry. Austins is the world's oldest independent department store that was established back in 1830 by Thomas Austin and it has been working since that time until today. It is not just for the sake of shopping, but this old building is another reason why one will come to it and know more about the history of its foundation.

Among the other touristic attractions of this city in Northern Ireland, we came to the Bishop's Gate which was built at the suggestion of Bishop Hervey in 1789 to celebrate the centenary of the siege. Bishop's Gate will take you to Bishop's street and there you could have a stroll down doing nothing specific (

Among the list of places which we visited in Londonderry, we have been to The Craft Village. The Craft Village is the reconstruction of an 18th century street and 19th century square that provide an eclectic mix of artisan craft shops, balconied apartments and different restaurants and coffee shops which one could sit it and enjoy their time. We have walked across this village and loved every detail related to it and we would suggest it for those who will be visiting Derry anytime soon and there you will also find souvenir gifts to take back home to your friends and family.

Moving forward with our trip, we visited the Guildhall and Square which is another touristic attraction for people to visit while being in Derry. The Guildhall in Derry is an old building that is standing there from 1890 and it is the building in which the elected members of Derry and Strabane District Council meet. The old 17th century Guildhall was first located in the Diamond area of the Walled City but this building was then destroyed by fire and the new building was assigned to be built in a city square. In addition to the social and political meetings which are held in the Guildhall, this is also the place where the Feis Doire Colmcille - an event which celebrates Irish culture - is held. Guildhall Square which is just in front of the building is the main city square in Derry - Londonderry and is also the place where different important and beneficial events are usually held (

One of the other things that people tend to check while they are in Derry/Londonderry is the Peace Bridge. Peace Bridge was opened back in 2011 by Johannes Hahn and it is both a cycle and foot bridge that crosses over River Foyle. The aim of the bridge was to connect Ebrington Square to the rest of the city centre, and that what happened eventually with this bridge that is one of the newest three to be found in Derry (

The last stop in this video around the city of Derry in Northern Ireland is Shipquay Gate which is one of the original four city gates dating back from 1805. It is interesting to come across those different old gates which stand from the history until today but which will bring you to the modern world that you are living in - they give the city a different kind of atmosphere.

These are the places we passed by in Derry/Londonderry, but if you are searching for something more then you could check the rest of the gates found there and you could also consider visiting St. Columb's Park which is one of the most famous to be found in Derry/ Londonderry (

Back in 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the London prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds and from that time the legal name has been Londonderry although some people refer to it as Derry.

Derry tourism is growing in recent years - and there is plenty now to do in Derry on a night out. The city itself is a great walk with many historic points especially the walls that surround the city. Doire as it is called in Gaelic - is well worth a visit by any tourist

The NI International Airshow Airwaves

The NI International Airshow with RSA Insurance roared over Portrush at the weekend.
It featured five jet displays including the world famous Red Arrows.
Several of the acts included The Red Star Rebel Jets who never appeared in Ireland before. This year's event welcomed the biggest number of jets to date including the oldest flying Hawker Hunter, the de Havilland Vampire and the Jet Provost.
The jets were just part of the extensive line-up of 25 aircraft including a very special commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic involving the very rare Catalina flying boat.
The Belgian Air Force made a welcome return in their A109 helicopter and put on an astonishing display using flares and pyrotechnics.
The ground arena featured mock-up aircraft, exhibitions, the Donegal Spitfire, children's shows, static helicopters and the trade village.
The event was sponsored by RSA Insurance and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board as well as several local businesses.
Jack McIlduff, Managing Director of RSA NI, said, RSA Northern Ireland is very pleased to continue its support of the Airshow and we are particularly delighted that our sponsorship has enabled the return of the Red Arrows to the North Coast for another breathtaking display.
Eddie Rowan, Events Manager at the Northern Ireland Tourist Board said, The Northern Ireland Tourist Board were also delighted to once again support the NI Airshow for 2013 under the National Tourism Events Fund. I am delighted that the Red Arrows are back again this year at Portrush to showcase the spectacular North Coast and thrill the tens of thousands of spectators expected at this fantastic event. Continuing the legacy of the successful NI2012 year, events like this help put Northern Ireland on the destination wish list of visitors not just from at home but from all over the world, as well as enhance Northern Ireland's reputation as an appealing destination.

Coleraine Northern Ireland

Not sure if Coleraine adopted me or I adopted it but I do know that I have loved this town since I first saw it from the back of a three tonner (Army vehicle) in 1971. Coming from Salford Manchester I think that I appreciate this land more than some of the locals do.
