St. Patrick's ChurchChurch · 2.0 miExplorer Tom St. Patrick's Church in County Antrim has a family tree that’s mostly invented by people who really wanted to sound impressive at dinner parties. No date given, which makes me suspect it’s just very good at hiding its age. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
First Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 2.0 miExplorer Tom First Presbyterian Church in Antrim is just a church, so I invented a tragic love affair that ended with a broken hymn book. Dare you to say hello to it out loud, if you're brave enough.
2025 Northern Ireland riotsRiot · 2.2 miExplorer Tom The 2025 Northern Ireland riots are just Ballymena having a bad hair day from the train window. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug at all that chaos.
C17th house & bawn: galgorm castle in GalgormC17th House & Bawn: Galgorm Castle · 3.7 miExplorer Tom C17th house & bawn: Galgorm castle in Galgorm sounds fancy, but it’s just a posh mud pie from the seventeenth century. It definitely has a secret stash of biscuits. Make a wish, it’s had centuries of practice listening to them.
Galgorm CastleCastle · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Galgorm Castle looks very imposing in County Antrim, probably pretending to be a fairy tale fortress today.
SlemishMountain / peak · 5.2 miExplorer Tom Slemish is famous as the place where St Patrick minded his sheep, a significant peak in County Antrim history.
Motte: dungall in DungallMotte: Dungall · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Motte: Dungall in Dungall overlooks the Clogh River and looks down on us all. It gave up chocolate for Lent but kept its attitude intact. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
Tardree ForestForest · 6.2 miExplorer Tom Tardree Forest can be dark and gloomy in winter, but that’s where I found my second rare unclaimed First of the day, so who’s afraid?
Tardree MountainMountain / peak · 6.2 miExplorer Tom Tardree Mountain hosts mountain biking near Antrim, with boggy ground at its foot and volcanic origins.
CarnearnyMountain / peak · 6.8 miExplorer Tom Carnearny’s summit lies within Tardree Forest between Antrim and Doagh, where the trig pillar stands among felled trees.
Top WoodWood · 9.2 miExplorer Tom Top Wood has a tractor trail along its edge that can be muddy even in summer, so bring boots with some grip if you’re planning to walk it.
Motte: dunamoy moat in DunamoyMotte: Dunamoy Moat · 9.2 miExplorer Tom Motte: Dunamoy moat in Dunamoy is a medieval mound that was nearly sold for a horse. It’s still standing there like a very confused pile of dirt. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
