About

Beginning at the castle, Eilish will lead you out to the pier for a panoramic view of the town while you are regaled with tales of Carrickfergus' mythic origins and inhabitants. Next, you'll return to the castle to hear grisly tales of bloodshed in the shadow of Northern Ireland's greatest Norman fortress. Entering the town centre, Eilish will share true accounts of crime and punishment in front of the old gaol and courthouse. Finally, our tour ends with tales of love and loss in St. Nicholas' graveyard.
