Sentry Hill is a 19th century Victorian farmhouse in the Parish of Carnmoney, County Antrim. The contents of this historic house in Northern Ireland provide a rare insight into life in rural Ulster during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Sentry Hill was the home of the McKinney family, who came to Ireland from Scotland in the early 1700s. Remarkably the contents of the house have survived almost intact. Family furniture, books, paintings, personal diaries, letters, photographs and souvenirs from trips abroad all help to tell the story of the McKinney's, recording life at Sentry Hill and its surrounding areas. Over the years many guests have been warmly received at Sentry Hill by the McKinney family. The last of the family may now be gone but their welcome remains and the door is now open for you. The venue is a popular place to see in Co Antrim, especially during European Heritage Open Days. You can dander down the path through the sheltering trees and step inside the snug old farmhouse. As you cross this threshold you will stand where the past shakes hands with the present. Sentry Hill offers an entertaining day out to visitors of all ages with facilities including guided tours, attractive gardens, a cafe, gift shop and picnic area.

On the journey from Cushendun to Ballycastle over Torr Head you will have many photo opportunities of some truly stunning views. The drive is quite arduous over in places very steep and narrow roads.

We went to the Torpedo Platform as part of a cruise on Lough Neagh with Abhainn Cruises Boat Tours and this was just one of the stunning sights we seen. Really enjoyed seeing this important part of our history and also seeing how it has been repurposed by the Lough Neagh bird life.

This grave yard is well worth a visit as is the whole village of Gracehill. The best place to start is in the Old School where you will get a little of the history. Then go to the church. Years ago there was two doors. One for men and the other one for females. The graves are devided the same way on the left side of the path is all male and the right all female graves. Also the headstones are not upright. They all lie nearly flat. Well worth going to see
