Carrickfergus is a small town northeast of Belfast, but predates it by a century.
We went to the castle this morning, taking a short tour before browsing on our own.
The castle was used right up until after WWII, where it was used partly as bomb shelter.
Later we went downtown, but there isn’t any parking available. We saw a Hop-On bus and followed it for a bit, looking for where it had stops. Its only stop, that we saw, was at the Crumlin Road Gaol. Being outside the main downtown area, we found a spot and went into the jail for a tour. Afterwards, we had just missed the bus, and we were hungry, so we went back to the apartment to eat.
After a nap, we drove over to the Belfast Castle. Unfortunately, it is mostly a banquet and event hall, nothing much to see indoors. There was a large walking path, but we have already had enough walking this month.
There is also a restaurant downstairs, and we went in for dinner.
