Kintra: Road trip! From Carrick to Cushendall

Road trip! From Carrick to Cushendall

BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Road trip! From Carrick to Cushendall

Carla and Willie hit the road, travelling from Carrick to Cushendall.

Our first road trip of the summer finds Willie Hill out and about meeting people in Islandmagee and surrounding areas while Carla Speer explores the Glens of Antrim.

Our first road trip of summer 2022 begins with Willie Hill at home in Carrick. He sets out towards Ballygally and Islandmagee - visiting one of the oldest properties in the area, meeting one of it’s oldest residents and having an ice-cream at one of the oldest businesses. The baton is then handed to Carla Speer who explores the Glens of Antrim, speaking with the man behind the island’s only storytelling café. Then its off for a look at one man’s collection of horse (and goat!) drawn carts before live music at a legendary – if notably tiny public house.
The team loves to hear from listeners with their comments about the programme, or with a yarn or song or poem to share or an Ulster-Scots event to promote. You can contact them at kintra@bbc.co.uk.
