3의 십자가가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Slemish Mountain is the remnant of an extinct volcano near Ballymena on the Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland. Its summit rises to 437m, offering hikers beautiful views of the surrounding area and even the Scottish coast. Legend says that St. Patrick found God here after being enslaved as a youth and forced to herd sheep in the area. After escaping, he later returned to the area as a priest to convert his old master. Therefore, hundreds of people hike the 1.5km circular trail to the summit, especially on St. Patrick's Day (March 17). The 180m climb is rocky and steep and can be dangerous, especially in bad weather, so all hikers should be equipped for the rapidly changing weather conditions.

Killylane Reservoir is a pristine reservoir situated on open moorland near Ballyboley Forest. It's a real hidden treasure and a perfect spot for a run. You can laze along the lush green banks overlooking the water to stretch and unwind post-jog.
