From tomorrow (Wednesday, July 1), the sites in Antrim and Jordanstown will reopen to self-contained caravans and motorhomes.

In addition, the slipways at Antrim Lough Shore Park will also reopen. Situated on the shores of Lough Neagh, the park attracts people from across the region who come to enjoy a range of watersports.

Commenting on the development, Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Ald John Smyth said; “I am pleased that we have been able to re-open our caravan parks.

“Close to ferry ports and major arterial routes, our caravan parks are ideal for exploring not only the borough of Antrim and Newtownabbey, but all of Northern Ireland.

“Tourism is an important sector for our local economy and along with the reopening of the slipways we look forward to welcoming these visitors back to our borough this summer.”
