The Court HouseCourt House · 172 ydExplorer Tom Ballymena Court House is where people went to argue about who left the tap running back in the day.

It definitely has a secret stash of biscuits. Make a wish, it’s had centuries of practice listening to them.
Galgorm CastleCastle · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Galgorm Castle looks very imposing in County Antrim, probably pretending to be a fairy tale fortress today.
