Battle of AntrimBattle · 3.3 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 · 3.3 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.
