I haven't been up there in a long time, but the situation itself is beautiful...a neolithic henge monument, in essence, right in the middle of Belfast. When I was 16 I was on an archaeological excavation right beside it at Ballynahatty (but it is the field right beside the Giant's Ring) and it was a huge wooden 'henge' structure too....with an exhumation platform (a place where they left bodies to decompose before burying them in crouched inhumation style burials).
Anyhoo....I'm rambling!
Derek....I think we all enjoy a pub and pint of Vitamin G....don't we?!?
No mate it has definitely improved in the recent past.
However IMHO it is not in comparison to the stone circles. There is something wildly eerie about Beaghmore, especially when JON one else is about.
And yep the Lagan towpath is great but its all just a bit...meh.
And yep 21 is the longest day.
