Banbridge is a town in County Down, Northern Ireland. It lies on the River Bann and the A1 road and is named after a bridge built over the River Bann in 1712. Banbridge is situated in the civil parish of Seapatrick and the historic barony of Iveagh Upper, Upper Half.

The town began as a coaching stop on the road from Belfast to Dublin and thrived from Irish linen manufacturing. The town is the headquarters for Banbridge District Council. The town's main street is very unusual, and rises to a steep hill before levelling out. In 1834 an underpass was built as horses with heavy loads would faint before reaching the top of the hill. It was built by William Dargan and is officially named 'Downshire Bridge', though it is often called The Cut.

Banbridge, home to the Star of the County Down, is a relatively young town, first entering recorded history around 1691 during the aftermath of the struggle between William III and James II. An Outlawry Court was set up in the town to deal with the followers of James. Banbridge has staged an annual busking competition and music festival called Buskfest since 2004. Performers often travel long distances to participate. The competition closes with an evening concert composed of performances by world-famous artists. Recently, Banbridge has been twinned with Ruelle in France.

Like the rest of Ireland, the Banbridge area has long been divided into townlands, whose names mostly come from the Irish language. Banbridge sprang up in a townland called Ballyvally. Over time, the surrounding townlands have been built upon and they have lent their names to many streets, roads and housing estates. The following is a list of townlands within Banbridge's urban area.

Near the town lie the ancient Lisnagade Fort, Legannany Dolmen, and the Loughbrickland Crannóg, constructed around the year 500 AD. Thomas Ferguson & Co Ltd factory tours. The town is situated a short distance from the Brontë Homeland in Rathfriland- the church at which Patrick Brontë preached often hosts musical performances by well-known artists, e.g. Eddi Reader.

Banbridge is on the A1 main road between Belfast and Newry. The nearest railway station is Scarva on Northern Ireland Railways' Belfast–Newry railway line, about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Banbridge. Banbridge had its own railway station from 1859 until 1956. The Banbridge, Newry, Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway opened Banbridge (BJR) railway station on 23 March 1859.

Exploring Abandoned WW2 Field Gunning Bunkers - (Difficult To Reach)

So guys, as I said in the video. I will be taking a short break this bank holiday, I do this break every year at this time hence why I will be doing it this year. I know it does mean skipping a weeks worth of exploring but it really can’t be helped. Also guys, this is something that I haven’t really spoke about. But as some of you may know, I am in my last year of compulsory education (Year11 UK) (11th Grade US) and of course that means the inevitable...exams. My first exam is on May 14th, and my last on June 15th, so for that 1 month I will be under pressure which is unfortunate. However, this doesn’t mean that I will stop uploading completely during this time, and I will try my best to do so. But I do want you to know that if a week is skipped then that is the reason, but I will of course try to best to be my usual consistent self. You know me, I never skip an upload unless the reason why is out of my control. But anyways guys I hope you enjoyed the video, and I hope you found it a bit more engaging than my last 2 uploads, I’ll see you in 2 weeks for another one, bye.
