Antrim is a town in
County Antrim in the northeast of Northern Ireland, on the banks of
the Six Mile Water, half a mile north-east of Lough Neagh. The town
is the administrative centre of Antrim Borough Council. About a mile
from the town is one of the most perfect of the round towers of
Ireland, 93 feet high and 50 feet in circumference at the base. It
stands in the grounds of Steeple, where there is also the "Witches'
Stone", a prehistoric monument. Join a Blue Badge tour guide during
July, August and September for a guided walking tour of Antrim and
the surviving features of the town. Leaving Antrim Tourist
Information Centre, on appointment, the tour highlights surviving
features from Antrim of old such as the Market Square, castle walls,
churches and courthouse. Alternatively, pick up a copy of the
illustrated Heritage Trail Leaflet and take your own self guided
tour. |
