Description

Knocknacarry (pronounced nok-na-kyar-ee, from Irish: Cnoc na Caraidh meaning "hill of the weir" – referring to a weir diverted off the River Dun which operated a watermill) is a hamlet about 1 kilometre west of Cushendun in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 138 people. It is within the Moyle District Council area. Knocknacarry lies within the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. St.Ciaran's Primary School, which also serves the village of Cushendun and the wider local area, is in Knocknacarry. The river bed of the River Dun at Knocknacarry Bridge, north of Knocknacarry, is of scientific interest in the field of mineralogy.

Nicely captured, Clive. You no doubt saw the profusion of wild flowers and fuschia in the hedgerows of the Glens of Antrim. The hamlet, as you call it, used to have a wee shop, just on the corner of the road from Cushendun. Nearly sixty years ago, I was introduced to Irish lemonade (this was amber in colour, and not very lemony, but just the thing after a day at the beach... Two years ago I discovered that they still make it in Northern Ireland. Warm regards, John.
