Just behind this archway to the left is a Restaurant/Bar named ‘The North Gate’ ironically! ... this is where I met a girl named Jenny …. ‘the rest is history’, as they say – I married her ;-) Looking at the quiet old town to-day one can scarcely believe that it was once a place of the greatest importance, and the centre of such stirring times, when Belfast was only a small village. The oldest records tell us that an Irish King, Feargus, built the first castle to defend his property three hundred and twenty years before Christ. He crossed to Scotland, and on his return journey he was wrecked on a rock in the bay, called afterwards the Rock of Fergus. His body was found and buried in the adjacent abbey of Monkstown. Another story tells that the same rock was called Carraig-na-Fairge, rock of the sea, from which it is more probable the name Carrickfergus was derived. From that time until a hundred years ago, Carrickfergus suffered almost constant invasion, plunder, bloodshed and burning. The Castle, the Church and remains of the walls bear silent witness to the oft-told story. The first wall was built round the city inside a month. It was built of sods and the inhabitants all joined with alacrity to defend the place from their enemies. This wall was afterwards replaced by stone, part of which is still to be seen. It was eighteen feet high, six feet thick and had seven bastions. The corners were of cut yellow stone, freestone, not found in any place in the neighbourhood. A moat safeguarded the landward side, a deep trench and drawbridge the outer side. There were four gates-The Glenarm or Spittal Gate-now the North Gate, the Woodburn or West Gate, the Water Gate and the Finey Gate which had battlements on the top. James I. entered the town by a drawbridge. The North Gate is still a picturesque memorial of the old days, but we hope the ancient structure may not fulfil the tradition which says: “The North Gate will stand until a wise man becomes a member of the Corporation.” A recent resolution was passed which proves that wise men have now a majority on the Corporation, for they have decided to restore the North Gate. Long may it remain as a most interesting object.

this is the one and only home for me … in my opinion the best house in Ireland and if I could, i would buy it when it becomes available … chances are though it will never come onto the property market as the Nation Trust will have the option to buy before anyone else does … the pi that i have on my gallery ‘rock with a view’ is just outside this house on the beach opposite … approx 100ft away … yes this is the one for me … oh and there are only five houses down on the Port … one is already owned by the National Trust and can be rented as a holiday let … its a gem also … just two doors away from this little gem If anyone out there wants to buy it, I will be the caretaker for free lol Oh Portbradden means ‘Port of the salmon’ it has a long history
