Junction one is great, also loads of history in Antrim town. Visit the tourist information for loads of stuff to do.

Few beautiful places to park for free on the App, do not stay in Antrim Town with the Motorhome, it is not welcoming. Ok to park though. Six Mile Water Campsite is lovely, although expensive, it is also within walkng to distance to 'Castle Grounds' and the town centre of Antrim.

We haven't stayed there yet, but does anyone know if a motorhome would be welcome at the carpark at Cranfield Church (nice ruins) just west of Randalstown and with a nice view out over Lough Neagh? Just a thought. Can't think of anywhere else around Antrim apart from the aforementioned Sixmilewater campsite.

Cranfield point is on the app, not sure about the church, and some very very cool parking spots around Antrim town and outskirts that I have added as I grew up there, or they would never be found. The Local knowledge on the App is outstanding.

The Ramble Inn on the A26 about 3 miles north of Antrim allow overnight parking. No services. Ask at the bar and spend a few quid in the bar/ restaurant.

We do The Ramble Inn at least once a month on a Saturday night for the Dance never any trouble we park out back under the Motor Home parking sign
They do a Cooked Breakfasf every Morn except very friendly owners. Always happy to see us.
