Shane’s Castle is the family seat of the O’Neills of Clanaboy. The Demesne is one of the most beautiful and well maintained in Ireland. Although the Castle has been in ruins since a fire in 1816, the remaining structure, including a unique Camellia House, is a striking feature on the landscape. The site has been used extensively in the renowned TV series ‘Game of Thrones’.
One of the most important bird habitats in Western Europe. A haven for wildlife and home to a wealth of flora and fauna, Lough Neagh provides a unique and valuable natural resource, offering a very productive ecosystem, which supports thousands of wildfowl and a large-scale eel fishing industry.
Four rivers in Antrim and Newtownabbey provide game fishing from 1 March to 31 October, with the best fishing from April. All of the rivers hold excellent stocks of wild brown trout with salmon and dollaghan entering these rivers from early August and providing excellent sport until the end of the season. Potterswall Reservoir also provides excellent game fishing.
This challenging and picturesque 18-hole par 72 Championship Golf Parkland Course covers 140 acres of mature tree-lined fairways adjacent to the shores of Lough Neagh, with views as far as County Tyrone to the west.
