The city
What to expect from Ballycastle.
Seaside town in the northeast of County Antrim, between the beach and the Glens hills. Boats to Rathlin Island leave from the harbor, and to the east are the cliffs of Fair Head. At the end of August it hosts the Ould Lammas Fair, an annual market with centuries of tradition, associated with yellowman, the town’s crunchy sweet.
