The Ballycastle Forest transmitter is a relay of Limavady, and provides TV reception to the town of Ballycastle, on the north coast of Northern Ireland. The town is a popular destination for tourists, being situated near to the Giant's Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and Rathlin Island.
Finding the transmitter was fairly easy, although on my visit, the access track was starting to look a bit overgrown!
BBC FM Radio is transmitted from a different site on the other side of town.
Ballycastle Forest was originally an IBA landlord site which entered service on 17-Nov-1978 to serve 2,850 people. Channel 4 was added in November 1984. DSO was on 10 and 24-Oct-2012. |
