Cullybackey Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Genealogy is an occasional hobby, one that I hope to pursue with more intensity one day. Back in the day when I was able to devote more time than I am now, I traced one line of my family to the quaint village of Cullybackey, Northern Ireland. I really enjoyed my visit here and the thoughts of trying to imagine what it was like a few hundred years ago when my branch of the family lived here.

Ardboe High Cross (Irish: Seanchrois Ard Bó) is a high cross and national monument dating from the tenth century located in Ardboe, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The cross stands at the entrance to a cemetery and a monastery and a church from the seventeenth century which was founded in 590 by Saint Colman. The monastery was destroyed by fire in the twelfth century. It is believed to have been erected in either the ninth or the tenth century. The name "Ard Boe" means "hill of the cow" it comes from a legend that the monastery of Ardboe was built from the milk of a magic cow out of Lough Neagh and forms the only remaining part of an early monastery on the site. At around 18.5 feet (5.6 m), Ardboe High Cross is Northern Ireland's tallest cross. Although the head of the cross is damaged, it seems to be the only such cross in Northern Ireland to remain largely complete and original.

Such a beautiful stay in a serene location. It was fully booked on the night we stayed but you wouldn’t have known anybody else was there, the pods are laid out in a way that everyone has their own privacy. Beds were very comfortable. We’ll definitely be back!
