Looks like a great place to visit 😊,

Lovely. Oh how i miss home ❤❤

So many fond memories of Kircubbin in the 1950s. Lovely to see my late father's chemist shop, now McKeevers, next to the Village Inn. Prior to dad opening the chemist shop in 1953, this was a shoe shop . As the nearest hospital was about 20 miles away in Belfast, I witnessed many emergency surgeries performed on the chemist shop floor. One I recall was a butcher who mistook his arm for a side of meat. Another was a pig farmer who forgot that pigs can bite like a shark. Good old doctor Graham , who lived near the harbour, would arrive in minutes to patch up the casualties and get them to hospital. Every year there was a fancy dress parade where the children marched up and down Main St, through the green where the curate was hung, to a flat area near Monaghan's Bank where the judges would pick a winner. I have a photo of myself winning in 1953 dressed as Sir Edmond Hillary with a couple of baby food tins strapped to my back as oxygen cylinders. I have a photo of the fancy dress winner in another year dressed as a clockface on a stick of rock candy. Her caption said "Rock around the Clock". Her paper outfit got ripped as the parade passed our chemist shop so my late mother saved her day with a roll of sticky tape to patch her up. We owned the first and only television in Kircubbin in 1953, a 9 inch Bush-Simpson black and white. Very small compared to today's big screen tellys, but there were no others so nobody considered it small. I recall huge numbers of Kircubbinites coming into our home to watch the Queen's coronation on that little tv in 1953. They used to dredge the harbour occasionally so a steamship could get in with its load of coal. Trucks would then reverse along the harbour wall to be loaded and then take the coal to a yard in Main St. Our family migrated to Australia in 1959. All are deceased so I am the last man standing and my memories will die with me.

I remember watching the full video, it was very good 😊.

I've literally just been looking at a house right on the seafront where you started filming, it one of the row of terraced houses! My move on 27th to Annalong has collapsed due to my buyers related sale falling through just before exchange 😢😢, so back to square one. Are you going to do a full video on Ballyhalbert ?

Looks like a very interesting video coming up!! Love the dance music, too😁

❤❤❤

Good work NIR. This was a very well produced and researched video. Best wishes from the Belfast Castlereagh hills.

I can see my house in this video, as well as my bedroom window and old house!

Yes you came to our village!

Wow, i should go there. Well, i should but i already live here in kircubbin

Wow!!! Such an awesome cathedral, so majestic. The city, bathed in that lovely sunshine, looked wonderful. Very interesting place and a 'must' to be visited. Thank you for Season 2 ..... I am looking forward to seeing more N. Ireland hidden gems in Season 3 👏

Just love this thus place living in northern irelan d done all places and south shareing for some frinds who nit been here

Great video. Thanks.

Beutiful have to share Thankyou

Love video had share them hope it’s ok

The little island @1:50 with the old house was the summer retreat for Thomas Andrews of Titanic fame, I live on Sketrick which has the advantage of Daft Eddies bar within a stones throw, the only disadvantage is that Daft Eddies bar is within a stones throw LOL. Sketrick is a real hidden gem of a place as are the dozens of other occupied islands in the Lough. Great video.

Isn't it a charming little place! I shall be visiting it too 👍

Interesting history lesson with the 2 Bishops 😱😁. The beach is gorgeous 😍, I shall be sure to visit! It's not that far from my house, 33 miles. Is the Tower open to the public at all?

Everyone loves Ireland!

I spent many a happy summer in Ballyhalbert (as a kid). My mum and dad owned a caravan there.

Wow....another video I didn't want to end...very interesting history and enjoyable to watch 👍

🎉

🇬🇧🇬🇧

I've just returned from a holiday in the Portstewart area and it was much busier than your video. That big golden beach was fabulous. Everyone was having such a great time as the weather was glorious that day. It was better than being on a Spanish beach 😄🏖️

It certainly looks like a most delightful place to visit. And linger over a coffee and cake 😁😋. Only 25 miles from Annalong, too..The forest park is stunning 😍. I'll give the mountain biking trails a miss though... tried it a few years ago and it scared me half to death 😱😱.

Nice opportunity to see Ireland 😊

Windmill is cool 😅. Great that it's been preserved and remains functioning. There is a windmill not far from me, the only working windmill on Anglesey. A number of others have been converted into homes or holiday let's.

Beautiful castle and wonderful garden ❤. The beach looks amazing. Cute polar bear 😂.

Best wee place my favourite town I’m here now in ballywalter

THAT'S THE PLACE TO BE I WAS BORN THERE JOHN CRAWFORD 😀😮🎉

I love Greyabbey, but the road to it from Newtownards is treacherous and i detest having to drive along it.

I think I would stick to calling it Londonderry, why change the original history, but thank you for the explanation. Fantastic city, but sadly, some tragic events in recent times.

I'm really sold on this one, The Forest Park, and that castle have just got to be visited....thank you for highlighting this beautiful area 👍

And mine !! 😂 Loved the video, such interesting history, and the canal walks you mentioned are a must for me and my fiesty Jack Russell 😊

Beautiful castle! Liked the little cat statue 😀. You didn't have the best of weather it looks like for your adventure, touch windy perhaps 😂😂. Love the words of that song at the end, resonates as I'm in need of a new home. An Irish singer??

Bangor, North Wales is very different to Bangor Northern Ireland! I like the walled garden and fountain must be wonderful when operating. The museum was very interesting. I have my grandfather's medals and a few bits and bobs in a box. He served during WW1 with the Shropshire Light Infantry as a Gunner. He was the sole survivor in his brigade and because he got wounded in his thumb by a bullet and was transferred to a hospital as unable to fire his gun. Also, have a large knife, but unsure of the history on it, other than he brought it back from France ( no identification on it ).

Oh my, how beautiful 😍. I could spend all day there, exploring and staring at the views. Does the visitor centre have a coffee shop? I like the end song, too, 😀

What a pretty, quaint little harbour town 😀. I'm loving all those steps up to the Motte 😁😁. Very good exercise for legs and glutes muscles! South Stacks has 400 steps down to the lighthouse on Anglesey, steep, twisty and can be very windy. The disadvantage is the proximity of the RSPB cafe , so after 1600 steps workout I end up in the cafe with coffee and inevitable cake and undo all my hard work 😁😁. Life is too short not to eat cake ! Sad story about MV Princess Victoria 😥

Carrickfergus reminds me of Caernarfon with the harbour and Castle, although the Welsh Castle is different in design. Very interesting video 😀

I did notice that it was an early episode 😁. Still very good though and you've certainly improved over time 😀. A revist sounds a fab idea!! I look forward to that ❤.

That looks an amazing piece of coastline and very quiet 😀😀. Something missing though 🤔, actually 2 things, sound of your delightful voice and no drone footage 😢😢😅😅.

Looks a stunning place, drone footage is lovely 😍. Like the gothic architecture! The drinking trough is for wildlife I imagine 🤔.

Thank you for sharing such beauty 😊

I viewed a house just a few steps away from the Castle. It's stunning 😍. Didn't have time to explore it, but will once I move over.

Really interesting video with lots of history. I'm looking forward to visiting soon. Maybe an ice cream and a walk along the sea front 😅.

Really interesting video ! I viewed a house in Ardglass very close to the Harbour before buying my new home in Annalong. My friend and I ate chips in the car overlooking the Harbour. I saw the bathing tower and couldn't work out what it was 😅. I remember seeing one of the castles, not sure which one. I'm looking forward to going back and exploring the area once I've moved.

Watching with morning coffee in bed again with Elijah the cat 😁.I've been there ! The Cathedral is so beautiful. I have a question, please .... What is the difference between Derry and Londonderry? I was told to say Derry. Great video , as usual, and interesting to see some of the things I didn't get to see 😀

You've grabbed my attention straight away by mentioning cake 🎂 😅😅😅.

Just watched this with my first coffee of the day, great way to wake up! That cycle map looks very interesting 😁. Drone footage always adds extra perspective to videos.
