Cushendun Village

Reviewed By 816johna - Belfast, United Kingdom

Cushendun is probably the nicest small town/village on the coastal drive. It is set in a conservation area managed by the National Trust at the mouth of the Glendun river and attracts many visitors annually. Anyone travelling the Antrim Coast road northwards should make a point of reaching here for a break to enjoy the tranquility.

Gracehill Moravian Church

Reviewed By davidmJ8739IV - Newtownabbey, United Kingdom

Tucked away in the middle of the Moravian village of Gracehill is a little treasure. The church , still with it's separate men's and woman'e entrances ( though not adhered to now ) and with the simplicity that many ornate cathedrals lack. Well worth a visit when in Ballymena.

Gracehill Village

Reviewed By rosemaryh610 - Belfast, United Kingdom

I visited Gracehill with my family and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. A guided tour showed us the beautiful preserved village . We were told many interesting stories of the lives of those who had lived there , and visited God's Acre where family members from generations before had been buried. I definitely recommend a visit.
