Carrickfergus, colloquially known as Carrick, is a large town in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Carrickfergus sits on the north shore of Belfast Lough, 11 miles from Belfast.
Carrickfergus is County Antrim's oldest town and one of the oldest towns in Ireland as a whole. Carrickfergus was the administrative centre for Carrickfergus Borough Council, before this was amalgamated into the Mid and East Antrim District Council in 2015, and forms part of the Belfast Metropolitan Area. Carrickfergus is also a townland of 65 acres, a civil parish and a barony.
The town is the subject of the classic Irish folk song Carrickfergus, a 19th-century translation of an Irish-language song (Do Bhí Bean Uasal) from Munster, which begins with the words, I wish I was in Carrickfergus. The British peerage title of Baron Carrickfergus, which had become extinct in 1883, was bestowed upon Prince William on his wedding day in 2011.
Carrickfergus railway station opened on 1 October 1862. In addition, the northwest of the town is served by Clipperstown railway station, and the east by Downshire railway station. All three stations have regular commuter services to Belfast and Larne. Three historic stations in Carrickfergus, Barn, Eden and Mount, closed in the 1970s.

Ballycastle Co. Antrim - Places to go to in Northern Ireland
Ballycastle County Antrim - the small town that is located in county Antrim, Northern Ireland, happens to be a touristic place for the attractions it carries and the events that might be taking place in it.
Ballycastle is a small town that is located on the north easternmost coastal tip of the island of Ireland at the northern mainland limit of the Antrim Coast and Glens Area. As much as tourists get astonished with the old historical buildings, they also get mesmerized with the nature they are faced with, and this is one of the things that Ireland in general could manage to offer.
Isn't it always interesting to stand at some point in a country and manage to point out to the borders or to islands that are related to the one next to it? That's exactly the case in Ballycastle, county Antrim, where you could point out to Rathlin Island and Mull of Kintyre which are part of Scotland.
Okay, let's dig deep into the important part now, you might be asking yourself what are the things to do in Ballycastle or the places that you are supposed to visit in order to receive a mesmerizing view; we are going to help you since we have already been there and managed to discover some of these places.
The Fair Head which is a rocky headland found in county Antrim, only three miles away from Ballycastle, and is the point considered the closest to Rathlin Island. There is also the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge; some people might fear the idea of walking on it, but it is actually a whole different experience as well as a different view; this bridge links the gap that is found between the North Atlantic and a small island.
There is also the Bonamargy Friary which is one of the places to visit in Ballycastle, Northern Ireland, and which is an old friary that was discovered in the late Franciscan time. This Friary is one of the historical places that one could visit in Ballycastle, county Antrim that is believed to carry stories behind.
In Ballycastle, county Antrim, Northern Ireland, you will also get the chance to visit the Holy Trinity Church, you could come across the Ballycastle Museum and see what they have inside, and you could also eventually come to check the Kinbane Castle.
The old history is different from nature and if these attractions we mentioned above will be placed among the different places one should visit in Ballycastle, there are still some other nature-related destinations which one should head to, such as the Lough na Carangh Crannog, which is all about the greenery area and the lake and you could also head to the beach - if the Irish weather will give you the chance to! (
For a lot of people, it might be surprising that there are different places and historical buildings which they could visit and which are not part of Belfast or even Dublin ( but there are actually lots and lots of places that people could go to and which are scattered everywhere in Ireland.
After enjoying those castles, bridges, and getting relaxed by the nature, we want to tell you one more thing you could do in Ballycastle, county Antrim, but only if you are visiting it in the last Monday or Tuesday from August; we want to tell you about the Auld Lammas Fair which is held yearly on the same days, specifically because the last Tuesday in August is a Bank Holiday.
Auld Lammas Fair is a traditional fair that is associated with Lammas Harvest Festival. This fair is a history because it is believed to be held now for 400 years, starting back in the 17th century. There are different things to experience in this fair - we have been there and truly enjoyed our time - you will get the chance to taste and buy different types of candies and sweets (it was finally the time to taste the famous traditional Irish yellowman), you will enjoy walking by the horses and getting into a small farm with different types of animals, buy some toys for the kids, and even see some of the products being sold there which you might be interested to buy yourself any of them. This fair is actually exciting and different - OH, we have even played there on the bull game! - but you might spend more time than you expected, so make sure that you don't have any other plans during the day and give yourself some time to go back home if you are not so close to Ballycastle (
Here, at Connolly Cove, we are trying to help you discover lots of places and things about Ireland and Northern Ireland; we are trying to give you suggestions to places to visit and offer you some recommendations to make your trip more interesting and exciting. Recently, we have been trying to get to other countries around the world and expand that help we are trying to offer to the public.
Visit Ballycastle in county Antrim if you have the chance to and enjoy those places we have suggested then tell us about your experience; do you think it is worth the visit?

Day 10- Scotland to Northern Ireland (Traveling Day)
We started out the day in Edinburgh Scotland, then took two trains to get to the bus that would take us to the ferry to Northern Ireland. After a wonderful boat ride to Belfast, we took a taxi to the rental car location where we had a little problem with the car. Once that was resolved, we drove to our youth hostel in Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland. Next we move onto Ireland!
Happy travels everyone! Miss you Daddy! -The Trojaks
