Lead The Way Tour - Carrickfergus

Lead The Way Tour - Carrickfergus This Guided Walking Tour uncovers the role that the town of Carrickfergus played during the Second W Get in touch to start the discussion.

The Tour is on a circular route, starting and finishing at Carrickfergus Castle. I use contemporary photographs, artifacts and stories to help show how the town, and the people who lived, worked or were stationed here, adapted to wartime conditions. The standard route for public tours is around 1.5 miles long and takes around 2 hours to complete. The route can be extended, on request, to 2.5 miles

and 2.5 hours if your legs are up to it! Pricing: Adults £10, Children (under 16) £5

Scheduled public Tours are advertised and bookable through Discover Northern Ireland: https://discovernorthernireland.com/things-to-do/lead-the-way-tour-experience-p791921

Private tours are available - contact me to arrange a suitable day and time. If a Guided Walk doesn't suit, I deliver Talks and Presentations for Groups.
