Houston's Mill Park and Garden is a peaceful park near a river and old mill race. It offers a Council-run aire with a Euro-Relais service point for up to 4 vehicles, without any height restrictions. However, during our visit, 2 out of the 4 electricity points were not functional. Nearby Broughshane village is a charming place with amenities like a pub, hardware shop, barbers, ladies hairdressers, butchers, supermarket, fruit and vegetable shop, and cafes. It's conveniently located, with easy access to the scenic Antrim hills, Causeway Coastal run, and Giants Causeway.
The motorhome stop over at Lovely Aire offers a great rate of £7 per night. Payment can be made at The Thatch Inn. The area is peaceful in the evenings and at night. The village is well-maintained and tidy. Definitely a place to visit again.
There is a beautiful spot in the middle of the city with a cafe where payment is easy. The paths are well-designed for evening walks. However, there are two negative points. Until late at night, young people often come with their vehicles and leave the engine and lights on, which can be annoying and unnecessary. Additionally, the four parking spaces for campervans are not clearly marked and sometimes blocked by cars.
