Selected Highlights
Antrim Loughshore and The Gateway Centre
Description
Situated on the shores of Lough Neagh, the Antrim Lough Shore Park is a popular destination for visitors and residents throughout the entire year.
It is an area steeped in history and natural beauty, with many attractions and activities to enjoy. The park also includes a 5-star caravan park and slipways to arrive by boat.
Here you will find the Protector of the Lough statue, towering over the shore of Lough Neagh. Standing six metres high but weighing just 500kg, the majestic Protector of the Lough was designed by the Spanish sculptor Casto Solano. Depicting the legendary Finn McCool, the sculpture is made of stainless steel ribbons which gently move with the wind, helping to create the illusion that the giant is in the act of throwing a rock towards his rival, Benandonner. Discover the story of Finn McCool at The Gateway and enjoy panoramic views across Lough Neagh.
An exhibition space tells the story of the Lough and its influence on our past, present, and future. The sights and sounds will excite and enthuse all ages and the learning experience reflects five key themes around the Lough: Legends, Life, Living, Lives and Links.
