Join me for a walk around the heart of one of the most fascinating towns in all of Northern Ireland, Carrickfergus! The historic capital of Ulster, and for centuries a key base of English power on the island of Ireland, Carrickfergus was the site of some of the most important events in British and Irish history, from the landing of William of Orange to the Second World War, and so much more!
On our walk around Carrickfergus, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Carrickfergus Castle, Carrickfergus Harbour, Belfast Lough, the statue of William of Orange, Market Place, Carrickfergus Drinking Fountain, the Market House, Carrickfergus Poppy Mural, the North Gate, Carrickfergus' town walls, St. Nicholas' Church, the remains of the Irish Gate, West Street, the High Street, Carrickfergus Town Hall (formerly Joymount Palace and monastery), the site of the last witchcraft trial in Ireland, Carrickfergus Pillory, Carrickfergus War Memorial, and the restored Churchill Mk VII Tank 'Carrickfergus'.
