Our next Sole Mates outing of the 2026 season is to Antrim Castle Gardens on the banks of the Six Mile Water River.
We will meet in St Molua’s Church carpark at 10.00am this Saturday 15 August and travel by shared cars to Antrim for our walk around the beautiful gardens and parkland surrounding the ruins of the old Antrim Castle building .
