This beautiful castle hasn't changed much in the 120 years that have passed since this photo was taken, except for the renovations recently done in order to open the castle up to the public. During the 15th century, this castle was one of the strongest military posts in Ireland, and was only conquered during the 17th century because none of the defenders expected an attack by water.

elfast's main shopping district is an old one, and has suffered multiple IRA attacks in the 70s and 80s. However, after 120 years, most of the buildings in this photo are still standing.

Today, as well as over a century ago, Glenariff Forest Park, with its beautiful trees and waterfalls, is a popular tourist attraction. The area has been named by some as "Queen of the Glens", hailed as the biggest and most picturesque glen in the country.

This town used to be known for its beaches. While these are still a beautiful attraction, the town is now more known for its active nightlife and having the biggest amusement park in Northern Ireland.

You may be surprised to hear this, but the rope bridge in this photo, connecting Carrick Island to the mainland, is still in use today, and has become a major tourist attraction. That said, it HAS been redesigned and improved upon over the years, so it's safer today.

The Avoca River starts as two distinctive rivers and then combines through the Vale of Avoca. This vale is located in the town of Avoca, seen in this photo.
