Being settled in deep Texas now it's extremely invigorating to see where my peasant family came from. I thank our god for the diligence of my ancestors at keeping a clear track of family ancestory. 200 years later we have maintained the core ideals of our homeland. I hope to return soon.
Your family is British and your ancestors were planters or land stealers, your ancestry is not here. This is Irish land yanky.
There is nowhere else in the world like the north coast of Northern Ireland. It is a small piece of Heaven on Earth.
My paternal ancestors came from Antrim. It is truly beautiful. Thanks to Rick Steves for bringing this to us-and for speaking out about world peace.
Hello from a sicilian who has been lived in Coleraine for three years
My great-grandfather was from Antrim. Thanks for the chance to see it.
My great great grandfather and grandmother were from Antrim County Ireland. This is amazingly beautiful! I'm in awe :-)
O.M.G., The coastlines in Ireland are SO beautiful!!! I HAVE to go there! I want to travel all over Europe! There are so many beautiful places I want to see!
I'm from Tenerife and love a lot BELFAST
Hope to do this on my motorbike later this year when things are better......looks stunning!!!
Thanks for both takes there is always some truth in legends
Very nice. After tracing my Ancestry and seeing some came to America from here I was curious to see what it looked like. Beautiful.
I've been all over, but N.I. is home and it is still the most beautiful place in the World to me. It is the cold winters that keep me living in California, but I am often tempted to go back for good. Always torn between the two.
Lovely video! I have always wanted to go here. We hope to go with my parents in the next year back to Ireland, and Antrim is on my list. It will be my first time to Northern Ireland.
just IRELAND.
Nice video.. God bless always...
From the 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I visited here recently too and made a video about it, great part of the world, right on my doorstep
Half my bloodline dates centuries back to the Rasharkin area… I would love to visit someday
Beautiful. Many thanks for posting:)
Beautiful things don't ask for attention. They are just there, untouched and pure....
I really love living in county Antrim!!
I usted to live in Co Antrim lovely county
i really want to go there omg it's beautifullll
Yeah, it's official. Once I get out of grad school, I'm moving to N. Ireland and looking for work there.
Plenty of work here now
YEP I am with the Finn McCool story!!!
then you should really get on that then! i would have loved to be born in such a beautiful place
here on the east coast of vancouver island canada people and business harvest many oysters, so i was thinking they should call the area of fanny bay as ulster or new ulster like oyster
beautiful and well presented.
Well they obviously filmed this on the only three days it didn't rain that year.
Was there in 2008, this coast was my favorite area in Ireland or N, Ireland
Ireland. The north of Ireland.
@@thomasoflaherty3520 Oh wise up.
@@immortaltyrant2474 Oh but I am laddie
My grandfather used to do stunts on a bycycle over that bridge, brought up at Ballantoy.
This video was uploaded 11 years ago and I'm watching it today 😁 April 12 ,2021 .
I wonder how those birds survive the harse winter 😔
I went fishing in Ballycastle one time, caught about 100 breem ha!
Does anyone know any Clugston's in this area. I am a descendent of Hugh and Sarah Clugston of Antrim, Ireland. They attended church at Ballylinney Presbyterian Church. I am planning a trip to Antrim and can't wait to walk on the rich soil where my ancestors walked.
Wrong country.
i miss belfast.
You can really tell the age of some of these videos looking at the hairstyles.
This tourist information is so frustrating it's always marketing the same thing over and over and you would think the north of Ireland had no other tourist attractions to offer other than Bushmills Whiskey, Giants Causeway and Carrickarede. Well for those people who might read this your in luck because I'm going to tell you about another part of County Antrim that rarely gets mentioned in these videos. We start with the infamous Nine Glens of Antrim and believe me they are not a day trip like the above vid, you could spend days in the glens with their flat top plateaus full of lakes and spectacular waterfalls, quant little towns and villages with walks through the valleys along the river banks. The fifty mile or so drive along the Antrim Coast Road starting in Larne and ending in Ballycastle is breath taking and was voted 6th most beautiful drive in the World 2000. This route will take you round the foot of the Glens through some of Irelands most picturesque Towns and fishing Villages and enroute you will pass the mystical vanishing Lake of Lougharemma, you will have to leave the coast road at Cushendun ( Worth spending time at this hidden gem ) to visit here, it's not far but worth the trip. Then you can turn back if you wish ( highly recommended) to re-join the coast road or continue on this route as it joins into one again just before Ballycastle. When you turn back you will join the coat again via Torr Head Road, this is for me the jewel in the drive along narrow winding cliff top roads on the edge of the Irish sea where Scotland is so close you feel you could hit it with a stone the Scottish Mull of Kintyre is so close you can make out the field shapes. You will arrive in Ballycastle which is a town with two towns as people describe it with a great variety of shops, pups ( great music) and places to eat. Here you will be able to take the ferry to the only Northern Irish inhabitable Island ( Ring ahead of your trip to check Ferry times and bookings). Take time for this trip as you will have loads to do and see when you drive and explore the towns and villages of Glenarm, Carnlough, Waterfoot (not forgetting to take in the waterfalls and walks of Glenariff Forest Park ) Cushendall, Cushendun, and finally Ballycastle. You will not be disappointed and remember this is only north County Antrim which includes Causeway and the rest, there's loads more to see.
Very nice, though I doubt rathlin island can be the largest Puffin sanctuary in the world as I've visited other nature reserves in the UK which definitely seen to have more puffins present.
Does anyone remember old Curly Dan?
My great grandfather Patrick Hearl was born in Finvoy in 1806.
God - cigarettes? reeally? I'm not at all sure that's a correct analogy
As an Antrim woman, is yer man sped up in 1.5 speed? 🤣
LOL
37,000 six sided cigarettes. Nice.
40,000 to be precise,I've counted every one of them.
Seven foot long babies!😂
That's Northern Ireland for you!
Still British🇬🇧😜
Not in your future to come. 4 counties here are Catholic in MAJORITY and within the next few years will be the MAJORITY in all six counties. Go despair at the decline of the prods as they die out and the Catholics are outbreeding them. We here in Tyrone in IRELAND look forward to our future YOU, will only have angst and fear for soon you will be the MINORITY. 26 + 6 = 1 IRELAND. THAT'S IRELAND FOR YOU. STILL IRISH AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
Thomas O'Flaherty oh I've homes in Scotland, and when the sinking ship that is Northern Ireland finally leaves the warm bosom of the UK's efforts, I'll simply sell up, salt the ground before I leave, and sit back and watch as the EU, fills the north up with more migrants!😂🇬🇧
Ah I guess your a so called loyalist? but won't be if Ireland unites and you'll scarper off to Scotland, am sure many of your brethren will be following you?. You can put then up as tenants. Britain isn't going to miss the mess that is the north of Ireland, all British I meet wants to get rid of it, their wishes am sure will be confirmed in the near future ala political social demography via Catholics soon to be the majority and indeed, Brexit itself. Fun times to come. Enjoy Scotland.
What a load of nonsense! The geological truth is much more interesting and exciting.
