North Antrim photo thumbnail index

Return to aerial photos introduction page

These are pictures of the area where I grew up, but I took them much later on visits to my family there. If you can add to or correct any of the information in the captions, please contact me by clicking here.

For many more aerial photographs of the North of Ireland, have a look at the book "The North From The Air" by Esler Crawford, published by Blackstaff Press.

If you have an interest in the North Antrim area, you might also want to look at the official Ballymoney website, the visit Ballymoney website, the Ballymoney genealogy website, or the Ballycastle website.
