Lead The Way Tour - Carrickfergus

This Guided Walking Tour uncovers the role that the town of Carrickfergus played during the Second W Get in touch to start the discussion.

The Tour is on a circular route, starting and finishing at Carrickfergus Castle. I use contemporary photographs, artifacts and stories to help show how the town, and the people who lived, worked or were stationed here, adapted to wartime conditions. The standard route for public tours is around 1.5 miles long and takes around 2 hours to complete. The route can be extended, on request, to 2.5 miles

and 2.5 hours if your legs are up to it! Pricing: Adults £10, Children (under 16) £5

Scheduled public Tours are advertised and bookable through Discover Northern Ireland: https://discovernorthernireland.com/things-to-do/lead-the-way-tour-experience-p791921

Private tours are available - contact me to arrange a suitable day and time. If a Guided Walk doesn't suit, I deliver Talks and Presentations for Groups. If you want to support me in my mission to share the story of events in Carrickfergus during the Second World War, you can donate here: https://ko-fi.com/leadthewaytour

I'm often told that photos and videos are the best way to showcase my Tour.

Well, here are some photos where my guests have done the spadework!

I was out with my grandson Robin this morning, and called into Carrickfergus Castle. Unbelievable offer - a pass for a year of unlimited visits for the price of two standard tickets!

Needless to say, I bought one each for myself, my wife and Robin's parents.

If you notice something missing from the Marine Highway, Carrickfergus, this evening, don't worry. I'm sure it will be back in the early hours of tomorrow morning, with a job well done.

Looks like Santa is trying out a new sled for deliveries tonight. Something robust. Keep an eye out for it later.....

Tonight's Christmas Special of All Creatures Great And Small had a terrific, sensitive storyline.

It showed the complex nature of life on the Home Front: coping with Christmas and a child's first birthday within rationing, and enduring the long delay in getting information about a loved one's fate thousands of miles away.

Very touching, and a stark reminder of what our ancestors who lived during the Second World War had to cope with.

This time last year, a local Primary School invited me in to talk to their P4 class about Carrickfergus during the Second World War, to follow on from a talk by Northern Ireland War Memorial

I was asked back this year.

Once again, the pupils were so engaged, interested and knowledgeable.

As a 'thank you' for being the first school to bring me in, I left a copy of this book with them. I know it's based on the London experience, but much would have been relevant to life across the UK during those dark days. Highly recommended.

Once again, my friends at The Secret Bookshelf completed a challenge for me. This time, to get a signed copy of this book.

There's something pretty special about independent bookshops who can go to this length to source a single book. Please support them.

Interesting presentation on 20 civilian gallantry awards given as a result of bravery during the Belfast Air Raids of 1941, including the story of a young lad only 15yrs and 9 months of age!

With the release of Steve McQueen's blockbuster 'Blitz', everyone's been talking about the Luftwaffe offensive over the United Kingdom in 1940-1941. While the focus remains on London, Coventry, and other English cities, we continue to look at Belfast.

Today's special guest was Nils from Vienna, Austria. He was really impressed with the Churchill Tank. I always try to bring stories to life on my Tour, but maybe this was a step too far.
