The Hidden Village of Galboly added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in Northern Ireland by TheFatController on 11/01/2024

An interesting little ruined village on Antrim's North Coast. It cannot be seen from the main road so for years it was known as 'the hidden village of Galboly'. After visiting the village you can continue on up the hill via a track that leads to the plateau where there are spectacular views towards Scotland. Very few people apart from hikers and locals visited this place until it was used as a filming location for Game of Thrones and now in summer it can be quite busy. The nearest places for food and toilets are the nearby villages of Glenariff and Carnlough.

Lochaline (By JoeC)

The small village of Lochaline, on the Morvern peninsula, lies at the mouth of Loch Aline. There are some lovely views out toward the Sound of Mull or up the loch itself. The village has a cafe or, if you want to push the boat out (excuse the pun) The Whitehouse Restaurant is very nice.

The ferry to Fishnish on the Isle of Mull runs hourly and is both a nice subject for a little video and a great way to get to Mull.

It's a bit of a drive to get to Lochaline, but it's worth it for the scenery and, if you take the time, there are plenty of spots to stop along the way for a quick flight.

Blow's Downs, South Bedfordshire (By pcexpert)

Features include a disused quarry and medieval cultivation terraces.

In the early 20th century, commercial chalk extraction brought further, large changes to Blow's Downs. There is evidence of a limeworks on the Downs by 1901.

The Luton-Dunstable rail link, which opened in 1858, provided transportation of lime away from Blow's Down.

The British Portland Cement Manufacturing Company acquired the lease to the site, and were still running the works during the 1920s. Production ceased some time before the Second World War, with the chalk pit being used by the Home Guard as a training area.
