Antrim

 

22 miles from Belfast with railway, road and airport links is the North East town of Northern Ireland, Antrim.

 

 

Located within the country Antrim, Antrim is the perfect base area for explorers to discover the rich and diverse landscapes that Northern Ireland has to offer its guests. Antrim itself features two castles – Shane’s Castle and Antrim Castle – both featuring stunning gardens and grounds to explore and excite.

Nearby is the Round Tower, a site of both historical and architectural importance, as the tower is one of the most perfect examples of a round tower in Ireland. By this tower is the “Witches’ Stone”, a prehistoric monument shrouded in mythology. Antrim hosts a wide variety of cultural treasures such as markets and fairs, as well as giving you access to some of the most breathtaking scenery in Northern Ireland, including the nearby Irish coastline.
