The Six Mile Water in Antrim town, County Antrim

Antrim Antrim is a little town in County Antrim, and the town from which the county takes its name. It stands on the banks of the Six Mile Water, just half a mile from the shore of Lough Neagh. A historic town, many buildings of note remain, in particular in and around High Street. The courthouse stands at the end of the street, near the Barbican Gate, the old gateway to Antrim Castle. There are also hidden gems, such as a 19th-century smithy (now a shop) on Bridge Street with a distinctive horseshoe entrance. (Read more)
