Ballintoy
is a small village in County Antrim. The village is about
one kilometre from Ballintoy Harbour, a small fishing
harbour located at the end of a very small, narrow, steep
road down Knocksaughey hill which passes by the entrance to
Larrybane and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge.
The village
had a population of 165 people in the 2001 Census. The
village has modest commercial and social facilities
including tourist accommodation, restaurants, several small
shops, and two churches. The best known church is the
distinctive white Ballintoy Parish Church on the hill above
the harbour. The village was originally built around a
single street separating the inland pastures from the strip
fields running towards the sea. |
