About Carrickfergus

Overlooking the waters of Belfast Lough, Carrickfergus is one of the oldest towns in Northern Ireland. It is believed to be named after Fergus the Great, who once ruled the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata and whose ship ran aground on a nearby rocky shore. Carrickfergus is also the subject of a famous Irish folk song titled “Carrickfergus”.

Overlooking the harbour is the 12th-century Carrickfergus Castle, a Norman-built fortification that has been besieged by the Scottish, the English and the French during its tumultuous past. It is one of the best-preserved medieval landmarks in Northern Ireland, with an impressive tower at its core. Browse the historical displays on display within its stone-built rooms, together with cannons dating from the 17th century.

Take a step back in time at the Carrickfergus Museum, which houses artefacts dating from the medieval period to the modern day.
