About Carrickfergus
Carrickfergus stands on the north shore of Belfast Lough and is home to the 12th century Carrickfergus Castle, one of the best-preserved Norman castles in Ireland. It was built around 1180 by John de Courcy. The castle itself is only a few minutes walk from Clover House and nearby are numerous bars and restaurants to cater for a variety of tastes.
The marina, harbour and promnade offer pleasant walks.
Carrickfergus is the perfect base for excursions along the beautiful Causeway Coast, taking in the Giant's Causeway, Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge, Dunluce Castle and Bushmills Distillery. It is also convenient for daytrips to Derry and Belfast.
