the sea, and on the Glenarm River, which here flows into the bay of its
name, it is crescented by bold, romantic and imposing scenery, and at the
distance of ten miles are the lovely villages of Cushendall and Cushendun.
Glenarm Castle, now the beautiful seat of the Earl of Antrim, was for many
years the residence of the McDonnells, Earls of Antrim, of whom Randal
McDonnell, Marquis of Antrim, was attained during the Protectorate.
The mansion is a noble quadrangular pile, embellished with minarets and
surmounted by stately domes, the demesne is richly planted, and the grounds
laid out with exquisite taste. Glenarm possessing these attractions,
causes a considerable influx of visitors to it in the Summer season.

propwood, lime and limestone, of the latter, large quantities are exported
by the Glenarm Mining and Lime Company to England as well as to Scotland.

HILLSBOROUGH
back
to top
Hillsborough, a market town, (formerly a
Parliamentary borough) in County Down, ten miles from Belfast, on the road
from Dublin to Belfast. This town is built on a slope of a hill, and
there is so much neatness in its construction, and it joins so harmoniously
to the fine demesne of the Marquis of Downshire, that it may be called one
of the most agreeable small towns in Ireland. The Corporation Arms
Hotel is a respectable and comfortable house. General Sessions of the
Peace are held here twice a year, and Petty Sessions every second Saturday.
The Court House, a handsome building in the centre of the market place, was
erected by the late Marquis. The Parish Church is a very elegant
building, consisting of a nave and cross aisles, the tower, which is upwards
of 100 feet high, and the steeple, 100 more, form together a beautiful and
conspicuous object at a considerable distance, there are also two smaller
towers at the sides. The interior corresponds with the exterior in
neatness, is furnished with a good organ, and every window is adorned with
stained glass. A monument by Nollekens, to the memory of Archdeacon
Leslie, erected by the Marquis of Downshire, is worthy of notice, as also a
monument erected by the present Marquis of Downshire to the memory of
William E. Reilly, Esq., agent to the late Marquis. There are also two
other churches of the Establishment in the parish, built by the late
Marquis, and one endowed by him, and there is one Presbyterian church.
The charitable institutions are a dispensary, a school for children of both
sexes, conducted on the modern system of education, founded by the late
Marquis, and a Sunday school, patronised by the Downshire family. The
Downshire demesne is contiguous to the town, the mansion, garden and lawn
being on the West side of it. On a hill at the Dromore side of the
town is a splendid monument to the memory of the late Marquis of Downshire.
It was erected by public subscription. Hillsborough Castle, now in
ruin, on the demesne, was built in the reign of Charles I., and was
afterwards constituted a royal fort, of which the hereditary constableship
is held by the present Marquis. King William III. stopped here when
passing on to Drogheda, and it was here he signed the Regium Donum grant to
Presbyterian ministers. Hillsborough gives the inferior titles of Earl
and Viscount to the Marquis of Downshire. The Savings' Bank was
established in the year 1832, and the deposits exceed at present £19,000.
A joint stock company was lately formed for the manufacture of gas for the

HOLYWOOD
back
to top
Holywood, is four and a quarter miles from Belfast,
and is remarkable as having been a place of some note since about the
seventh century. In it was a monastery of the Franciscans, on the site
of which are the ruins of the old church. Holywood is widely known as
a watering place, and within the last fifteen years it has been rapidly
increasing in extent and population. Large sums of money have been
expended in speculation, chiefly by Belfast merchants, in the erection of
numerous elegant mansions in the town and neighbourhood, while gradually the
old, uncomfortable cottages and houses through the town have been removed,
and replaced by dwellings of a superior class. The shops and hotels
have also been improved. Holywood is a particularly healthy locality.
The opinion of the late eminent Dr. Forsythe was, that no place in the
neighbourhood of Belfast was so favourable as a residence for invalids, and
numbers of his patients, acting under his urgent advice, took up their abode
in Holywood. There are no mills or factories in the town, but there is
a constant demand for labour, and the sewing trade gives regular employment
to great numbers of the families of the working classes. The railway
had proved of great advantage to the place, as many Belfast merchants,
through its convenience, have been enabled to become permanent residents.
The baths have lately been put in the best of order, and, owing to a
desirable arrangement with the railway company, will be useful and
convenient for Belfast people. The schools are, in general, admirably
conducted. The Post-office delivery begins in Holywood at half past
seven o'clock each morning, and letters are received in the despatch box up
till a quarter before six o'clock in the evening, at which time the mail car
leaves for Belfast. Through an absurd arrangement, letters for
Craigavad, Crawfordsburn or the district of Tillysburn, if posted in
Holywood, are sent not to these places but to Belfast, whence next morning
they are forwarded for delivery. It thus takes a letter two days to
reach Craigavad from Holywood, being a distance of scarce two miles.
Population in 1851, 1,408. By a late arrangement with the post office
authorities, there is now a second delivery and despatch of letters.
Letters posted at half past eight o'clock in the morning are despatched by a
runner at nine o'clock to Belfast, and the carrier returns at half past four
o'clock p.m., and then delivers the letters conveyed by him from Belfast.

KILKEEL
back
to top
Kilkeel, is a small thriving town in the Barony of
Mourne, fourteen and a half miles from Newry, and nearly half a mile from
the open coast. "The River Foot" and the little harbour of
Derryogue, some distance East and West of the town, afford indifferent
shelter to the small fishing crafts in Northerly and Westerly winds, but the
beach of Greencastle, inside the bar of Carlingford, three miles from
Kilkeel, gives facility for the discharge of larger vessels, and the trade
of the place increases annually. There is a neat church, of mixed
Saxon and Gothic architecture, a market house, the Kilmoney Arms Hotel and
the Police Barracks, form three sides of a small square. On the
opposite side stands the Presbyterian meeting house, a spacious, handsome
building, re-edified in 1831, and which, with its extensive burying ground
and frontage, is always kept in excellent order. On the Eastern side
of the town, beyond the bridge leading to Newcastle, are the ruins of the
old church and its church yard, the burying places to this day of numerous
ancient families of the district. A Moravian meeting house, with a
pretty residence for the preacher attached, also another small place of
worship for Presbyterians. There is a market every Wednesday, and a
fair the first Wednesday of every month. The Petty Sessions Court is
held the first Tuesday in each month. There are free schools,
supported solely by the trustees of the Earl of Kilmoney and the rector of
the parish. Master of the male school, Mr. Cooke, mistress of the

Killyleagh, a market and seaport town, formerly a
Parliamentary borough, in the County Down, about fifteen miles S.E. from
Belfast, situated at the head of a creek on the West shore of Lough
Strangford, on the road from Downpatrick to Newtownards. An extensive
cotton manufactory was established here in 1825, to which has been
subsequently added that of linen yarn, the entire giving employment to many
of the industrious class, a second linen manufactory has also been
established. The Hamiltons, created Lords of Clandeboye, and
subsequently Earls of Cranbrassil, formerly resided in an ancient castle at
one extremity of the town, it is now the residence of the Hamilton family,
who, with Lord Dufferin, own the town and estate contiguous. The
magistrates assemble in petty sessions every alternate Friday. The
church is a handsome cruciform structure, with a tower, surmounted by a
spire of good proportions. It was originally erected in 1640, and in
1812 was rebuilt, when the tower and spire were added, towards the expense
of which Lord Dufferin contributed a large sum. The other places of
worship are two Presbyterian churches, a Methodist and a Roman Catholic
Chapel. Two National schools, and one supported by the Dowager Lady
Dufferin, are the principal benevolent institutions. Sir Hans Sloane,
the celebrated naturalist and physician, was born here on the 16th April,
1660. The market is held on Friday. Fairs - April 10th and
