“The jewel in Antrims crown” they said, “Go to Portrush” they said, “You’ll love it” they said. Bastards!

It’s a duel to see which is shittier, Portrush or Ballycastle. I’d call it a draw.

Allegedly it’s more fun when the bike races are on and the village is overrun by vikings and all sorts of social miscreants.

There’s a reason Portrush is cockney rhyming slang for thrush. Both are deeply unplesant experiences. I can’t help but feel it might be more interesting if it were underwater, like Atlantis.

Verdict 0/5 (Run away quickly).
