Get out and about in the scenic Irish countryside The interior has been restored to how it would have been in his time, and is well worth a look. Those interested in American history will be no doubt fascinated by the Andrew Jackson Cottage – this house, just outside the town, was where the seventh president of the United States grew up before emigrating with his parents. In the 1970s, for example, the textile industry had a strong presence in Carrickfergus. The town itself is not without its historical legacy, either. It's highly recommended to pay a visit during your stay. These days, the castle plays host to a variety of medieval exhibitions and events, which show life as it was. Besieged at various points throughout history by the English, the French, the Scots and the Irish, it was in near-constant use for over 700 years, and was involved in conflicts ranging from the Nine Years' War to the American Revolutionary War. This may have something to do with its continued importance as a military outpost right up until 1928. Impossible to ignore, and just a short walk from the railway station, this imposing structure is in remarkably good condition. The first stop for any visitor to Carrickfergus should be the 13th-century castle which defines the town. If you would prefer to stay at a B&B, the Old Manor Carnoustie is known for its outstanding service. The golfers among you will be well served by the Carnoustie Golf Hotel, which offers spectacular views of both the course and the town. You won't have to worry about where to stay, either. Ganges on Park Avenue is one such establishment, garnering rave reviews for its consistently excellent Indian cuisine.
Carnoustie boasts a diverse range of cafés and restaurants.
