Is there convenient car parking?

Yes, the car park just 50 yards from the Castle, and adjacent to the harbour, is large and free!

Can I get to Carrickfergus using public transport.

Carrickfergus is well served by Translink for both train and bus services. Use their Jouney Planner for specific times: https://www.translink.co.uk/ .

Do I need to have visited the Castle to get the most out of this Walking Tour?

This Tour provides a quick overview of the Castle's history, so you don't NEED to have visited it. However, we do recommend visiting it to get the best understanding of the Castle's importance. We see our Tour as complementing a Castle visit, rather than replacing it.

What toilet facilities are available?

There are public toilets in the main car park beside the Castle. Along the route, public toilets are available, though some are closed on Sundays - your Guide will keep you right.
