Great Coastal Railway Journeys

Great Coastal Railway Journeys

Ballymena to Carrickfergus

Michael Portillo is in the glens of Antrim, where Ireland's folklore and magical myths flourish and he is transfixed by tales of fairies and legends of the sea. At the entrance to Belfast Lough, in Whitehead, he discovers a glorious museum, which tells the story of Ireland's railway heritage. An ambitious project is underway to restore a classic Irish locomotive.
