Ulster BankBank · 42 ydExplorer Tom Ulster Bank in Ballyclare has been counting coins since the twenties. It’s got that serious face, but I bet it just wants to be a bakery. Bring biscuits, because every good banking story needs a sweet ending.

Motte in BallyclareMotte · 346 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Motte in Ballyclare is a medieval dirt pile that thinks it’s royalty. There’s definitely a hidden tunnel to the pub under there, I’m sure of it, or at least to a cellar. Bring someone who'll believe anything, like my ex-wife.

It’s proud of its connection to St. John of Jerusalem, which sounds fancy. Have a wander and a wonder.
