Carnlough Antrim Fishing Village - Carnlough Harbour - NI

Carnlough and Carnlough Harbour is an area of outstanding beauty nestled in amongst the Glens of Antrim - at the foot of Glencloy -
and the North Channel on the well travelled Coast Road.

Carnlough is actually a beautiful small fishing village that is located in county Antrim, Northern Ireland, and this Carnlough Harbour is part of it, on the shores of Carnlough Bay.

Carnlough Harbour was built by the owners of the quarries west of the village, which were connected to the harbour by means of a mineral tramway network, which include a bridge over each of two parallel streets in the village. Most of the old things that are built in any country out there are renovated and that is exactly the same that happened with Carnlough Harbour; it has been renovated recently and is now used by pleasure boats and small fishing boats.

Carnlough Harbour is now considered the focal point for the whole village, that is why it might be attracting lots of people - especially the local Irish ones - to it because they already now what they are going to see and experience at this place. This area offers many opportunities for both sea angling and fresh water angling.

If you intended to come to Carnlough Harbour by boat before and you are not from the village, you might have heard that it is difficult to find a place because it is usually full of local boats.

Carnlough Harbour is situated at the northern end of Carnlough Bay between Garren Point and Park Head. Visiting the place in general has its own different feeling and it is of course one experience which you will fall in love with for the weather and the calmness of the view; if you are coming from afar, there is also the famous Londonderry Arms Hotel which is just in front of the harbour and which you could stay at.

Being in Carnlough Village itself means that there are different attractions which one could actually see and check in addition to Carnlough Harbour - which we have to say is the most famous there. The options from the places that one could choose, there is the Glenarm Castle, the Red Bay Castle, Cranny Falls, Ardclinis Church, Carnlough Library, St. John the Evangelist, and the Hidden Village of Galboly. People always think that because Carnlough is a small village, it might not have what people could visit and know more about, but it has and might even grab the attention so easily.

In addition to those attractions and destinations which one could head out to in order to check in Carnlough Village, one should also think about the activities or those things which could be done apart from sightseeing. One of the examples which we have include taking the Carnlough Bay boat tours which will provide you with a new experience, or else going to the Glenarm forest and have a walk inside the place and experience it all.

Carnlough is situated in Ballymena and that brings another journey which people could think about - you could jump from one village to the other to check what it has there, but which will definitely depend on the number of days you are taking to enjoy your vacation.

In Ballymena, there are some important places to be mentioned, such as the Cushendun Caves which are situated in Cushendun ( and which also appeared in Game of Thrones movie series - just like Carnlough - and which is one of those which we have been to before.

Carnlough Harbour appeared in Game of Thrones movie series which is filmed in different locations all around Northern Ireland, even some of the 10 doors that appeared in the movie are found in Northern Ireland as well and if we are referring to Ballymena then door number 8 is found in Mary McBride's Bar which is found in Cushendun, Ballymena; so there is always something to explore in every part of Northern Ireland.

The trip we had to visit Carnlough Harbour was an interesting one, we didn't manage to visit any other touristic destinations in Carnlough Village but we loved walking by the water, sitting there just watching the boats, and at the same time enjoying the breeze and the atmosphere of the whole place.

If you are going on a tour regarding the locations that are part of Game of Thrones then visiting the Carnlough Harbour is a must, and if you are generally searching for a new and different location which you might visit in Northern Ireland then this is also an option - but it will definitely depend on your current location and the place you are staying at during your visit.

If you have already been to the Carnlough Harbour before then share with us your experience and tell us about the things you loved the most about the place. If you have never been there before then this is the right time to head to this peaceful place and see it in real and you will not lose if you also headed to some of the attractions there as well.

Fishing in Dingle, Ireland

My dear friend and Rick Steves' Europe tour guide colleague Stephen McPhilemy charted a boat from Deep Sea Dingle for a fishing expedition, and boy, did we have a great time! The ladies (Claire and I) reeled in the first of the many pollock, and with Stephen's catch, we ended up with 10 or so that we brought to a local pub to be cooked up just right.

LYNEKNEK Segway Tour 2012 - Dublin

Den årlige LYNEKNEK-samlingen var i 2012 i Dublin. Lørdag morgen møttes 21 delvis reduserte karer uvitende om hvilken aktivitet som ventet. To timer med LYNEKNEK på Segway gjennom Dublin sentrum kan nok høres dristig ut. Og det var det... Men veldig moro!

Eco Explorer Camp - SUP Boarding and Ecology Summer Camp

Our second season of stand up paddle boarding fun in Dingle Harbour continued this year with a couple of summer camps for kids aging from 10 years old to 14. We had a blast with these two groups, SUP boarding, rock pooling, SUP Yoga, making sails, playing loads of team games and plenty of messing all around.

I think we may have converted a few future paddlers! SUP team Dingle here we come!
