The Tower - Ballycastle

Built in 1846, “The Tower” sits proudly in the middle of a row of six terraced cottages known as the Old Coastguard Cottages, Ballycastle. This 3-storey sandstone building was used as the Coastguards watch tower until the 1920’s. It has fantastic panoramic views out to Fairhead, Rathlin Island and over the Irish Sea to Scotland. It also overlooks Ballycastle’s blue flag beach and 18-hole golf course. The harbour and marina is a three-minute walk away with access to fishing boats, sea angling, and ferry to Rathlin Island. Ballycastle is renowned for its friendly pubs, restaurants and craft shops.
