Glengormley: From Ringfort to Roundabout

📍 Antrim🚶 7 stops🚶️ 4.75km⌛ ~85 min

A walk through the deep and recent past of a Belfast commuter suburb — from early medieval raths and a lost 'Henry's Town' church buried in the townland names, through the Victorian crossroads village and its interwar school and mid-century church, to Mossley Mill, the former linen mill that now serves as Newtownabbey's civic heart.
