Medieval (site of) & modern church & graveyard: ballyhalbert in BallyhalbertMedieval (site of) & Modern Church & Graveyard: Ballyhalbert · 1256 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Medieval & modern church & graveyard: Ballyhalbert is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Go now, before the tourists figure out where to park.
Historic Settlement Ballyhalbert in BallyhalbertHistoric Settlement Ballyhalbert · 1276 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Historic Settlement Ballyhalbert is what you get when a post-medieval village gives up on being interesting. It would tell the new houses next door to shut up about their smart lights. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Glastry Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Glastry Presbyterian Church has been standing since the seventeenth century. It looks like it’s judging your shoe choice. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave feeling like you’ve conquered something important.

Non-subscribing Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Ballyhemlin’s Non-subscribing Presbyterian Church has been standing since the 1820s, looking sharper than your ex. The wind probably picks on it because it’s too cool for school. Go before the tourists find out and ruin the vibe.

Kirkistown CastleCastle · 3.4 miTower-house and bawn: kirkistown castle in KirkistownTower-house and Bawn: Kirkistown Castle · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Kirkistown castle in Kirkistown got lost by the Vikings, who were clearly not great with directions back then. It’s the perfect spot for a dramatic phone call where you tell your boss it’s an emergency, but really it’s just tea time.
