Ballintoy: Guide



Ballintoy (in harbour located at the end of a very small, narrow, steep road down Knocksaughey hill which passes by the entrance to Larrybane and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. The harbour is host to a Dawn Service on Easter Sunday each year.

There has been no significant development within the village in the past and, as a result, Ballintoy’s population has slowly declined and was only 165 people in the United Kingdom Census 2001|2001 Census. The village has modest commercial and social facilities including tourist accommodation, restaurants, several small shops and two churches. The best known church is the distinctive white Ballintoy Parish Church on the hill above the harbour. The village was originally built around a single street separating the inland pastures from the strip fields running towards the sea. Two of the village’s oldest hotels and pubs, the Carrick-A-Rede Hotel and the Fullerton Arms, still stand on this street. The village is within the Moyle District Council area.

Places of interest

The remains of Dunseverick Castle are nearby and the village is only a short drive from the Giant's Causeway.
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is just outside the village. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny Carrick Island. It is thought salmon fishermen have been erecting bridges to the island for over 300 years. The bridge spans 20 metres (66 ft) and is 30 metres (100 ft) above the rocks below. It is a major tourist attraction with 140,000 visitors in 2005.
