Overview
Despite being almost 850 years old, Carrickfergus Castle remains in stellar condition. From its protected position on Belfast Lough, the fortress was routinely attacked over the centuries — it continuously garrisoned until the end of World War II.
Nowadays, visitors gain insight into a bygone age through guided tours or self-led strolls, exploring the storied walls along with historical displays.
