Buildings of Ireland / Antrim / Introduction

Welcome to our new section dealing with the many interesting buildings around county Antrim in Northern Ireland.

County Antrim forms the north-east corner of Ireland, and is separated by a sea channel only 13 miles wide from the Scottish coast. Lough Neagh (the largest lake in Ireland or Britain) and the fertile valley of the Bann occupy the western part of the county, but the greater part of it is an irregular plateau of hills and uplands, drooping sharply to the sea on the north and east. County Antrim contains Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland which is best known for Harland & Wolffe shipyards whose most famous ship was the ill-fated Titanic.

As you can understand, this is a pretty large undertaking which is why we will be adding buildings and places as we cover them. Currently we have the information on the following areas.

Town / Village / Area
Belfast
Carrickfergus
Cushendun
