| The
Seaside town of Ballycastle is situated on the most
north-easterly tip of Co. Antrim and is surrounded
by all the sights and mythical wonders of the famous
Antrim Coast.
The town itself is renowned for its cultural heritage
and is best known world wide for the “Ould
Lammas Fair” – probably the largest
of its kind in Ireland and famed for an unbroken history
having taken place annually for the past 300 years.
Great testimony to the community spirit and welcoming
atmosphere of Ballycastle.
Within the town there are leisure and recreational
facilities that compare with that of any major city
sports complex.
Homeowners at Harbour View can avail
of the many water sports and coastal activities such
as sailing, diving, angling, and waterskiing, to name
but a few. In addition, Ballycastle boasts superb
grass surface tennis courts which play host some of
Ireland’s highest ranking tournaments.

of Rathlin Island.
A short drive along the coast in any direction will
take you to many of Northern Ireland’s major
tourist attractions such as Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge,
