Limepark

37 Drones Road, Armoy, Ballymoney.

Northern Ireland

For over 250 years Limepark was a thriving farmstead. As well as farm animals, much of the land was arable, growing flax for the linen mill, selling eggs in the farm shop, shoeing horses and making iron gates in the forge (still in existence and in working order). It required a big workforce and provided the surrounding towns and villages with employment. A bell from the eaves rang calling workers in from the fields for lunch. built in 1720 Limepark holds a special magic even until today, once you visit you will leave a piece of your heart here.
