10 Best Places to Live in Northern Ireland
What are the best cities to live in Northern Ireland? We don’t often hear about Northern Ireland as much as we do the three other provinces because it’s the least discussed. If the 4 nations making the kingdom are ranked in order of popularity, we could go like England, Scotland, and, Wales. That’s why many people don’t have an idea of what living in Northern Ireland, the fourth province of the UK is. This time, we want to discuss the 10 best places to live in Northern Ireland.
This will prove that the part of Ireland that remained in the UK since 1921 is not faring badly at all. Please enjoy the discussion about the best places to live in Northern Ireland.
10. Newtownards
Newtownards is a town, townland, and civil parish in County Down. It’s not far from Strangford Lough, another one of the best places to live in Northern Ireland that would be discussed later. Newtownards is at the northernmost tip of Strangford Lough. It is also 10 miles east of Belfast on the Ards Peninsula.
When Newtownards hit the headline on July 17, 2021, it was about the townland of Ballywatticock toward Mount Stewart, where temperature peaked 31.2 °C at 15:40. Besides that, it has a very low crime rate. The town has a lot of beautiful spots that can add colors to the quality of life. Places such as Movilla Abbey, Somme Heritage Center, and Mount Stewart attract people to this town. The town’s residents are also entertained by sporting activities such as rugby, cricket, football, and motor racing. It is one of the best places to live in Northern Ireland.
9. Fermanagh
Ireland's Lakeland County of Fermanagh is the next of the 10 best places to live in Northern Ireland. It’s one of the six counties of the region, bordering the Republic. The county is renowned for its boating and fishing. Once a legendary dry plain, Fermanagh was believed to have magic well at its center with widely held tales of two lovers. Of course, the story around it makes the county. The lakes of Lough Erne stretching through 50 miles over the county were believed to result from bubbles from the water.
If you live in Fermanagh, you’ll be living in the roots of some famous people, including writer Rudyard Kipling and former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and Ulysses Grant. Enniskillen, which we shall talk about later, is the county town of Fermanagh. You don’t generally hear about crime here and the cozy place has enough amenities.
8. Ballycastle
Let’s next consider Ballycastle, a small seaside town in County Antrim. Deriving its name from the Irish expression “Baile an Chaistil,” the “town of the castle” is on the north-easternmost coastal tip of the region of the United Kingdom. Its harbor plays host to the ferry to Rathlin Island quite visible from the coast.
Anyone living in Northern Ireland and desires a harbor town to live near the coast should consider living in Ballycastle. If you’ve ever heard anything about the best places to live in Northern Ireland, you’ll realize that Ballycastle is frequently mentioned in such lists. According to The Sunday Times, this seaside town is one of five places in Northern Ireland considered the best places to live in Britain. The publication crowns it as actually the best place to live in the province. It receives accolades for offering a better quality of life to the majority of the residents in areas of education, health, crime control, and house prices.

Hazelbank Newtownabbey - Sunrise at County Antrim - NI
Experiencing the sunset at Hazelbank Newtownabbey was one of the most magnificent views we have ever witnessed and that was the main push behind taking a video of the phenomena to share it with the world here.
We have been sitting there for hours in order to witness this sunset phenomena but as much as we enjoyed those hours spent there, we were thrilled with the video we got out with at the end of the trip, this one which we have edited just for you.
Hazelbank park in Newtownabbey is considered one of the best parks there because of its location. This park is situated on the shores of Belfast Lough and thus offers different views for Belfast, Carrickfergus, and County Down. There are different things to be done in this park; one could walk through the passages and in between those trees, families could make picnics in summer and enjoy the good weather there, kids could enjoy playing around, and people could also enjoy the idea of watching the sunrise or sunset.
This park is considered a place for all the members of the family because it is designed to fit every single person; there is a playground area for kids, people could either walk or cycle, there are places designed for people with wheelchairs or else those who have pushchairs; it is the place for everyone, not just those who come to enjoy the beautiful sunset or video-graph it like us :-)!
County Antrim, where Hazelbank Newtownabbey is located, is one of six different counties that form Northern Ireland in general and it is also one of the thirty-two traditional counties in Ireland and part of the historic province of Ulster. The majority of Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, is found in county Antrim, but not all of it, which is the main reason why you might hear Belfast when county Down is mentioned. County Antrim is adjoined to the north east of Lough Neagh, the place where there are different beautiful scenes to be spotted.
Generally speaking, we are always expecting a change in the weather anytime during the whole year in Ireland, even if it was considered perfect when we first left our house. When we first headed to county Antrim, Hazelbank Newtownabbey, we were expecting a change in plans at any moment, but thanks to the weather, it all went well! lol!
We think there isn't anyone out there who might not enjoy the daily earth phenomenon which is the sunrise or the sunset and it has even been proved to be helpful when it is used as a method of therapy. This means that we did not only bring a magnificent scene from county Antrim to those who are thinking about paying a visit to this place, but we also helped those who might depend on sunset in order to heal themselves - using it as some kind of healing therapy; we win both ways ;-)!
Since part of Belfast is found in county Antrim, we would like to suggest some of the attractions found in this place that one could visit with his/her family and enjoy such a trip. Belfast Castle is the first destination in the place, it is a castle with a country park with a playground, visitor center, antiques shop, and a restaurant; so you will spend your trip without worrying about a thing (
In addition to the castle, you could also head to Belfast Zoo with your kids; they will enjoy coming to see all those animals and also get the chance to feed some of them, which is considered a different kind of experience for lots of kids.
You could also head to Cave Hill, which is a good place because it offers the visitors a view of Belfast city; this hill also forms the southeastern border of Antrim. You could take lots of beautiful pictures from up there; we always suggest those places of nature because they offer the most beautiful views at the end. In the same place there is also Cave Hill country park which you could head to after taking your pictures from up the hill; this place has several trails that lead past several caves, an ancient fort, as well as Belfast Castle (
Okay, we have already been to some of these attractions found in county Antrim which we are suggesting but there are still those on the waiting list. From the places which we have been to and which we were astonished by is the Knochagh Monument ( which is found on top of Knockagh Hill and which is a memorial of the war; you will see the monument in this place and then enjoy the scenery from up there, but there aren't any buildings to enter or check what they have from the inside (
There are lots and lots of places that one could visit in Northern Ireland but it then needs a lot of days to be spent there - Ireland is really beautiful and we are not even trying to be biased here but that's the truth :-) (
Let us here your opinion about Hazelbank Newtownabbey sunrise in county Antrim and of our video for it!

For us - Irish people living in Belfast :-) - this was considered our trip for the day which we even ended up with eating pizza at home, but for those tourists who are coming to visit Belfast and Newtownabbey, there are other destinations which they could include in their day in addition to visiting Hazelbank Park.
In county Antrim and Newtownabbey, there are other different parks which people could choose from in addition to Hazelbank which we have been visited before, such as the Valley Park for example which we have also been to before ( In addition to the parks, there are other important places to consider, such as Antrim Castle Gardens ( Antrim Round Tower ( Lough Neagh where some scenes from Game of Thrones movie were filmed ( as well as other different places which we still haven't been to yet.
For the love of parks and walking through green areas - sometimes even exploring the different paths or trails which are found there - we have been to different parks throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland and which we enjoyed every single one of them - of course with having those which we might place as our favorite at the end.
Those parks which we have been to include Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland ( the Tollymore Forest Park in Newcastle, Northern Ireland ( Rossmore Forest Park in county Monaghan, Ireland ( Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park which is considered the most famous in Belfast ( the Botanic Gardens in Belfast ( Victoria Park which is also located in Belfast ( and many other parks and gardens which will all take your breath away with their appearance and the beautiful atmosphere and places they could offer.

8 Worst Towns to Live in Northern Ireland
Let us put it in the right context before we take it so far. The expression “worst towns” here is going to be subjective and relative. This is because Northern Ireland is a generally good place to live. Regardless of how good a region is, however, some parts of it will be better than others. On the other hand, those parts of the region that are not regarded as the best are in that context not so good. And if all of the parts of a region are just good, the “least good” among them is invariably the worst. It is in that sense that we now want to show you the 8 worst towns to live in Northern Ireland.
8. Ballymena
Let’s begin with Ballymena, a large town in County Antrim. The town with a population of more than 29,000 is the 8th-largest town in the region by population. But it’s also one of the worst towns to live in Northern Ireland. Gone are those days when the town was prosperous and when a lot of factories were providing job opportunities.
The town has now suffered from a gripping recession that not only deterred investment in manufacturing but also stressed out existing shopping centers. Though some attempts have been made to rejuvenate the town economically, the unemployment rate is still very high. The shopping centers are no longer bustling as they used to be due to badly reduced purchasing power and low demands in the town. Besides, there are several rough areas such as Harryville in the town. Generally, the town that hosts 7 towers lacks prosperity, though it’s one of the safest places to live for people with legitimate business dealings.
7. Lurgan
Lurgan is another large town on this list. It is in County Armagh near the southern shore of Lough Neagh. The town is located about 18 miles southwest of Belfast having been linked together by the M1 motorway. Additionally, the Belfast-Dublin railway line serves this town with a population of 28,634 within the Armagh, Banbridge, and Craigavon districts.
Even then, it is one of the worst towns. It is divided along the religious line, no thanks to the housing anomaly. This is especially apparent in its worst part. Many of the people born in the town would prefer not to live there if they are not landlords. Houses there are usually up for buying to own not to rent. That is why it’s not a good place to live in Northern Ireland for foreigners. You will get rental areas only on Ardboe Drive and Trasna Way. But in Pollock Drive and Grey Estate, you’re in for a completely different experience.
6. Strabane
We’re now in County Tyrone to find the town named Strabane. Lying on the east bank of the Foyle River, it had a population of 13,172. It is located roughly midway from Omagh, Derry, and Letterkenny. Strabane is also on this list of the 8 worst towns to live in Northern Ireland.
Strabane has remained stuck to that unpopular tag not only in NI but also in the UK as a whole. For instance, out of 317 local authority areas in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, it is the 8th worst to live, according to the research carried out by Channel 4. The research measured 5 criteria homebuyers always consider namely crime, education, employment, environment, and lifestyle. The town performed woefully in all of them. It has been ranking badly for livability for years on end.

The BEAUTIFUL Antrim Coast by BUS!
The Causeway Coastal Route is world-ramous and considered one of the best road trip journeys in the world. If you don’t have a car, not to worry, you can make the trip quite easily with Translink!
We started off our journey in Larne. This port town is well-connected with regular buses, trains and ferries arriving throughout the day.
Before our bus left from Larne Bus Station, we thought we’d check out one of the most exciting monuments in Larne, the Chaine Memorial Tower, or “the pencil”, as one local told us.
We took a quiet walk along the beachfront and the path leading to the tower.
After that, we headed to Larne Bus Station, where we boarded the bus to Carnlough. It was straightforward to buy our tickets, which you can get either at the information desk at the station or with the driver on the bus.
We got The Rambler bus ticket for (£9.50) which gave us an all-day ticket which is excellent value considering how many places we hopped on and off throughout our journey!
After Carnlough, we visited Cushendun and then the beautiful town of Ballycastle.

Things to Do in Belfast - Belfast Tour - Belfast Attractions
For all those who are coming to Belfast soon and still didn't make a plan for the places they have to visit then this is the video for you because we have brought those hot spots of Belfast, Northern Ireland, and the things to do and the places to visit to try and help a little bit.
When you first arrive in Belfast - if you are coming by bus or train - you will arrive at the Europa station where you will be landing in the heart of Belfast and should then get ready for the different things you are going to do and see.
Just across the street from the famous Europa station, there is the oldest bar in Belfast city, the Crown Liquor Bar, so you could start your day with warming up with Guinness or you could even leave that part of the day to the end, to when you will come back to the same station to go back where you came from.
From the different interesting things to do in Belfast is to visit the Grand Opera House and attend any of the shows which might be taking place there. The Grand Opera House is on the other side of the street from the bar and there are always loads of shows there, so definitely go ahead with it and book yourself something to watch, you will definitely enjoy your time there and will find a different kind of thing to do in the evening.
So, getting done with the first part and which is all related to the landing location, there are still other places in Belfast which one should visit. One of the things that are considered a must to visit in this city is Belfast City Hall which was built in the very late 1800 and which we consider a really different kind of building. For those who are willing to visit Belfast City Hall - which we believe lots of people already have this on their plan - there are tours held in the morning which will take you through all the rooms of the building for free, and there is also a new exhibition which was added recently about the history of Belfast and the key events of the city which we believe is really good for the kids as well (
Leaving Belfast City Hall behind, there is one thing which we believe is important - for women the most :-) - which is shopping. If you want to do a little bit of shopping in Belfast then you have to take our advice and go to the Royal Avenue which is considered one of the main shopping streets in Belfast with different local as well as international brands and there are also some coffee shops and restaurants for those who want to take a rest from their shopping, and there is also the favorite Victoria Square shopping center which carries lots of different shops inside that will give people the chance to buy everything from there, as well as the top floor which is all about restaurants. Lastly, there is also the Castle Court which is one of the original shopping centers in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which carries all the different types of shops that you might be searching for and again there is an eating area with loads of fast food restaurants.
We are suggesting those places which people could visit as some kind of knowing more about the culture and history of Belfast, and we will also suggest those places which will give people a suggestion for a place which they want to visit at night. If you want to have a place to spend your night at then you could head to the Cathedral Quarter which is filled with hotels, restaurants, and bars which you could choose one from and spend some time at ( One of our favorite places is The Merchant Hotel which is the only five stars hotel in Belfast and which is great for those who want to spend their night in a different kind of way like having a cup of tea or enjoying a cocktail.
Just beside The Merchant Hotel there is the famous Anne's Cathedral, which also happens to be one of the most famous cathedrals in Belfast which is really old and one could get inside and have a tour in this old beautiful building (
The best thing about Belfast is that everything is within a walking distance, so walking away from The Merchant Hotel and Anne's Cathedral, one will reach the Albert clock which is a really old monument in Belfast ( and also for those who will get straight across, they will get to the Titanic Quarter where one could enjoy the museum and get the chance to see this area across the river (
The last thing we would recommend for those searching for something to do in Belfast is book a show or performance at the Ulster Hall which hosts a lot of musical events like the classical musical events with the orchestra.
If you want to find more about Belfast then Visit Belfast is the place for you which is a tourist information center.

BELFAST - Northern Ireland Travel Guide | Around The World
Belfast (Irish: Béal Feirste, Béal meaning mouth and Feirste meaning sandbank) is the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland and the second largest city on the island of Ireland after Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland. Situated at the mouth of the River Lagan on Belfast Lough, Belfast is surrounded by low hills and has a population of 267,500. This figure refers only to the Belfast City Council area whose borders date back to the 1950s. Since then the city has expanded and the population of the Belfast Metropolitan Urban Area which incorporates the surrounding suburbs and towns is 483,000.
Belfast gained notoriety around the world during The Troubles (1969-1997) due to the frequency of gun and bomb attacks in the city. Parts of Belfast were effectively no-go areas for security forces and therefore took on a lawless quality. Today, the scars of Belfast's troubled past make it an intriguing destination for travellers from around the world.
Belfast has two airports:
George Best Belfast City Airport
Belfast International Airport
The centre of Belfast is small enough to be explored by foot. Translink operate Belfast's urban bus network, called Metro (previously Citybus). Buses run along colour coded high frequency routes that radiate from the city centre from around 6AM until 11PM. All major bus routes start or pass through Donegall Square, and a Metro information kiosk is on the north-western side of the square. Tourist passes are available from here, or for the more frequent traveller, you can purchase and pre-load a Smartlink card with credit for bus trips. While the routes are extensive, the travel is expensive, as it is for the whole of the country. Buses frequently do not turn up and staff can at times be unhelpful. There are no buses or trains running during the night (except to the airports), so your only option is to take a taxi if you need to travel anywhere you cannot walk to.
To make the most of your time in the city your first point of contact should be the centrally located Belfast Welcome Centre (Tourist Office) at Donegall Square North, just opposite City Hall. The staff can provide maps, book accommodation and tours, recommend itineraries and places of interest and sell you overpriced and tacky souvenirs. There is also a useful left luggage facility.
Belfast has the full complement of high street chain stores that can be found in any other UK and Irish city. It does however have a variety of more interesting places to browse and shop, and a visit to Belfast would not be complete without experiencing them.
Belfast has a vibrant and varied nightlife which is improving year on year. The most popular areas tend to be the Cathedral Quarter and around the Dublin Road area. Closing times and last orders are generally a source of confusion even to many locals - but as a rule of thumb nights out in Belfast begin early and end earlier than in many similar European cities. As of December 2015, pubs around the city centre are generally open until 1am on weekends, bars 2am and a handful of clubs stay open until 3am. Clubs rarely let people in after 1.30am. Occasionally there are BYOB pop-up parties in the city centre, which can last most of the night.
Belfast's reputation as a dangerous city is often exaggerated. A recent study by the United Nations International Crime Victimisation Survey (ICVS) shows that Northern Ireland has one of the lowest crime rates in Europe. The majority of incidents are committed by local people against local people, unsurprisingly following religious, sectarian or political differences. Tourists are outside this culture and should not be very concerned. As with any other city, it pays to be careful and always be aware of your surroundings. Do not flash valuables or money or walk around reading your guidebook or map. If you need directions, ask in any shop or bar.

Grey Abbey in Newtownards, County Down - Northern Ireland. Greyabbey Estate-Monastery of Greyabbey
Greyabbey is 7 miles outside of Newtownards and this small town contains an amazing example of Anglo-Norman Cistercian architecture in Northern Ireland. Just on the entry to the town - the imposing Abbey is nestled in beside the current church.
It is in small grounds - but a beautiful area to walk through and explore. It was found in 1193 by Affreca, wife of John de Courcy, the Anglo-Norman invader of East Ulster. So loads of history here and in the town itself. So add Greyabbey to your list of stops when in the Newtownards / County Down area.
The Greyabbey in Newtownards has always been considered a touristic place that people tend to visit for the abbey itself, although there is a town built in the same area and which has been given the same name Greyabbey'. The abbey is also located beside some old graveyard that is found in this old town; so you will be visiting the abbey and at the same time having a look at those old graves which some of them are covered with some grass at this point.
This building that people come to check in Greyabbey town is considered the oldest Gothic style building to be found in all of Ulster, making it a must for those who will be in county Down or near to visit it and see it in reality.
There is a long history carried behind this abbey; this abbey was actually re-roofed in the 17th century and was used as a parish church until 1778. The Monastery of Greyabbey was also destoryed in the Elizabethian Era (1572) by Brian O'Neill in order to stop the English colonists from settling in this area.
The features that define this place now - or the things which you will witness when you get the chance to visit it - include the church with cloister and surrounding buildings to the south and the entrance is through and elaborate west door into an aisleless nave, it transepts through two chapels in each and a short chancel with tall lancet windows. Those buildings which are found around the cloister include an aisled chapter house and a refectory with reader's pulpit, although the west range and the walks have disappeared.
One of the interesting things about these different features that are related to the place is the tomb that is found to the north wall of the choir and which people believe might be related to Affreca as well as the armored knight figure in the north transept which is believed is representing John de Courcy.
The whole place is mainly about the ruins which are there but it is still considered a hit for those who love the idea of tracing back history and getting the chance to know more about what this building is all about and what it tells. Greyabbey town or village is another place which you could check some attractions at, such as the different antique shops which are found in the village, the Georgian and Victorian buildings which are found there, and also Mount Stewart which is located close to the village and is also considered part of Newtownards in county Down (
There are different places which one could get the chance to visit in Newtownards in addition to Greyabbey and Mount Stewart, from those which we have managed to visit, we went to the Scrabo Tower which is one of our favorites and a place we will keep recommending for those who will be visiting county Down ( In addition to Scrabo Tower, we have also managed to go to Kiltonga Nature Reserve which is also located in Newtownards ( and of course there is Mount Stewart House and Gardens ( which we have already referred to before.
This best example of Anglo-Norman Cistercian architecture was dissolved in 1541 after becoming poor and decayed in the late middle ages but in the early 17th century was granted to Sir Hugh Montgomery and thus the nave was refurbished until the late 18th century.
There are different beautiful places all around Northern Ireland which one could consider visiting and in this case, those are the ones which we have managed to visit in Newtownabbey. There are also other things which you could check in county Down in general, such as going to Portaferry which is the entrance of Strangford Lough on Ards Peninsula ( you could also visit Rostrevor in county Down ( tend to make a trip to Donaghadee ( or else make a trip to Newcastle (
Greyabbey along with the village is a nice place to visit and know more about its history; you will feel how the old days have left lots of stories to tell us about and inform us with.

This park was the fourth public park when it opened back in 1888, and it has been one of the main parks for the people of Greater Shankill Area that it was even due to be called Shankill Park but the name was changed to Woodvale Park in the last minute.
Back when the park was first opened, there was a large pond inside which was used back then by the local people in winter for skating, but it was then changed to a children's play area after the Second World War. This is just a prove for the importance of this park located in Belfast city in Northern Ireland and one reason it stands as one of the top parks that are visited there.
