Great Coastal Railway Journeys

Bangor to Belfast

Michael Portillo is in Bangor, County Down en route to the Northern Irish capital, Belfast. Admiring the handsome waterfront houses, he recalls the resort's prosperity after the railways arrived and learns how local groups are launching a cultural revival. Out on the water, Michael enjoys live folk music on a boat before heading to the heart of political power in Northern Ireland, the imposing parliament building at Stormont.
