Cup-marked stone in LadyhillCup-marked Stone · 546 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cup-marked stone in Ladyhill has an imaginary fan club that meets on Tuesdays. Prehistoric dots with no explanation. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere and makes you look deep.
Enclosure (Rath?)Enclosure (Rath?), duplicate record of ant044:059 · 780 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ladyhill is labeled 'Rath?' with a question mark, which tells you everything about its confidence levels. It’s probably just a shortcut through the woods that people started calling a monument because they were lost and needed an excuse. Have a nosey, politely, but don't get your hopes up.
Children's playground1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Antrim, huh? It’s probably where the local gnomes hold their weekly budget meetings. Don’t step on any mushrooms, just in case.
CarnearnyMountain / peak · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Carnearny’s summit lies within Tardree Forest between Antrim and Doagh, where the trig pillar stands among felled trees.
Tardree ForestForest · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Tardree Forest has recently felled conifers, giving you a view towards Slemish from the highest point, which is quite a sight to see.
Steeple Play AreaChildren's playground · 1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Steeple Play Area sounds like it wants to reach the heavens with its slide. No access details, but bet the view is decent from the top platform.
Antrim Railway StationRailway Station Structures · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Antrim Railway Station in Town Parks has an unlikely celebrity friend who was actually just a very confused pigeon from 1905. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker, mind your manners.
Battle of AntrimBattle · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Battle of Antrim is telling the same story about a tunnel to the pub for three hundred years straight. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up so you can quote me later.
2009 Massereene Barracks shootingTerrorist attack · 2.3 miExplorer Tom 2009 Massereene Barracks shooting is still waiting for its pizza to arrive, but the soldiers are too busy guarding the gate. Go back in winter, it’s a different animal then, trust me.

First Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 2.6 miExplorer Tom First Presbyterian Church in Antrim confused the Vikings so badly they gave up and went home to drink mead. Built in the 1820s, it’s been standing its ground while empires rose and fell around it. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the wind.
Mill Race TrailWalking route · 3.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Mill Race Trail might be where old water wheels spun, though I suspect it’s just a very determined stream these days.
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 · 5.1 miExplorer 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.
