The Hidden Village of Galboly, nestled in the Antrim coast hills near Carnlough, offers a peek into rural life in mid-20th-century Northern Ireland. Once a bustling community of farmers and fishermen, the village dwindled down to just six residents by the 1950s. Rumored to be a "robber's village," it now sits abandoned, with its stone-walled buildings and thatched cottages providing a picturesque backdrop for visitors exploring the area. Popular as a filming location for Game of Thrones scenes, this hidden gem is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a hike up to the stunning Garron Plateau for breathtaking views above the village.
