This small village lies at the foot of the Antrim Mountains, on the coast of the Atlantic’s North Channel, Ireland. The Antrim Mountains comprise an ancient basalt plateau of moorland and peat bogs. Collapse of the basalt caused the depression of Lough Neagh, the largest inland lake in the British Isles.
