This audio driving tour of Newtownabbey will take you through some well known points of interest...as well as some more obscure places! The tour starts off at Sentry Hill, former home of the McKinney family and now an intriguing museum. Then it a stop at the old graveyard at Mallusk to hear of servitors, covenanters and rebels. We’ve more memories of ‘98 at Roughfort and pure engineering excellence at Doagh, then we’ll stop off at Kilbride Church before heading on to Ballyclare, Ballynure, and the industrial might that was Mossley Mill. There’s a moment of quiet at Carnmoney Church before we finish the tour at Hazlebank.

You may decide to stop off and explore all of these locations, in which case the tour may take most of a day – just depending on how long you spend at each location. Or you might decide to plan your own route around the sites that interest you most.

Plan your route to the next destination before setting off as it is important that you don’t become distracted. Some of the country roads are quite narrow and a little twisty! And there may be a tractor...or a cow, just around the corner.
