C17th Castle on Monastic Site : Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Upton Castle, Upton Mausoleum, Hugh De Logan's Town in TemplepatrickC17th Castle on Monastic Site : Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Upton Castle, Upton Mausoleum, Hugh De Logan's Town · 304 ydExplorer Tom Upton Castle in Templepatrick sits on a monastic site, so monks built it first and then someone else ruined the vibe. It’s proud of its connection to St. John of Jerusalem, which sounds fancy. Have a wander and a wonder.
St Patrick's Church of Ireland ChurchChurch · 447 ydExplorer Tom St Patrick’s Church of Ireland in Templepatrick claims to be older than the hills, which is a stretch even for a church. Built in the 1820s and still acting like it invented the concept of Sunday service. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
Templepatrick Railway StationHouse · 699 ydExplorer Tom Templepatrick Railway Station is now just a house, which means the trains stopped caring about it around 1900 and moved on to better things. The local sheep are definitely judging your parking job. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you for sharing.
Doagh CemeteryCemetery · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Doagh Cemetery could be a historic site in County Antrim with connections to the area's past, perhaps holding stories of early settlers and their lasting legacy here.
Walled GardenGarden · 4.4 miExplorer Tom A walled garden always feels like stepping into a secret room, where the flowers keep their own private time.
Battle of Antrim 1798Battlefield · 4.9 miExplorer Tom The Battle of Antrim in 1798 left a mark on the land that still whispers to curious explorers.

CarnearnyMountain / peak · 5.2 miExplorer Tom Carnearny’s summit lies within Tardree Forest between Antrim and Doagh, where the trig pillar stands among felled trees.
Multiperiod Church & Graveyard with Well: Rath Sithe, Rashee, or Rassci in RasheeMultiperiod Church & Graveyard with Well: Rath Sithe, Rashee, or Rassci · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Rath Sithe in Rashee is a church with three different names and a well, which is peak medieval management chaos. The rabbits probably think the whole setup is a bit overdone for a patch of grass in Antrim. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
1971 Scottish soldiers' killingsMurder · 6.5 miExplorer Tom The 1971 Scottish soldiers' killings spot is where someone wrote a terrible poem that nobody wanted to read aloud in public. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the silence of the place shut them up.
