In this video, we explore the stunning **Islandmagee**, a hidden gem located on the east coast of **Northern Ireland**. Nestled between **Larne Lough** and the **Irish Sea**, this scenic peninsula is steeped in rich history and surrounded by natural beauty.
🏰 **Origins & History:**
Islandmagee’s story stretches back centuries. Its name is derived from the Irish "Oileán Mhic Aodha," meaning "MacAodh's Island," linking it to the ancient clan who once ruled the region. The area is also home to legends, including the infamous **Islandmagee witch trials** of 1711, one of the last witch trials in Ireland. Its maritime heritage, with tales of shipwrecks and smugglers, adds to its mystique.
🌿 **Natural Beauty:**
From the breath-taking **Gobbins Cliff Path**, with its rugged coastline and dramatic views, to the tranquil beaches of **Brown's Bay** and **Portmuck**, Islandmagee is a haven for nature lovers. Walk along cliffs, explore hidden caves, and enjoy panoramic views of the Irish Sea and even Scotland on clear days.
Join us as we delve into the captivating blend of history and natural wonder that makes Islandmagee such a unique destination! 🌊🌿

    About the live stream?? Yes, excellent idea and even better if you're willing to be in front of the camera doing some of the narrative. I've noticed that people I follow on TH-cam seem to be more popular and have more subscribers when they are there in person rather than those who are off screen. This relates to art channels mainly, but also other subjects 😅. I suppose it gives more of a personal touch. Doesn't matter what I think, it's your channel and you do what you feel is best for you 😊.

    Some minor corrections: Portstewart is in County Londonderry/ Derry, not County Antrim. The Railway did not come to Portstewart but, in fact, bypassed it at the behest of the local landlord, who desired it to be a more exclusive holiday location for genteel people. So, the train station was built a mile outside the town opposite the gates of his mansion, Cromore House. Those wishing to travel to Portstewart had to pay extra for private taxi hire or by steam tram, which travelled from the station to the promenade next to the Montague Arms Hotel. Thus, most train passengers would be encouraged to go directly to Portrush.

    • @nornirishrover
      @nornirishrover หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ah! Yes wrong country listed a mere oversight, I was aware of Cromore Station and the tram into town but summarising one over looks the finer details. Thank you for the updated information regarding the railway, very informative. 👍
