Antrim Coast - Northern Ireland
The Antrim Coast Road runs between
Ballycastle and Larne forming part of the
A2 coast road. This road was built
between 1832-1842 by William Bald.
Originally called the Grand Military Way
it was built in light of strategic lessons
learnt by government after the 1798
rebellion and was intended not only for
accessibility to the Glens and coastal
areas, but also to create a quick access
route for troops.
The Antrim Coast is a very highly recommended tourist spot.
