The Belfast and County Down Railway (BCDR) was a railway in Northern Ireland linking Belfast south - eastwards into County Down. It was built in the 19th century.
On the 2nd August 1848 with the first section of the line from Belfast to Holywood opened to passenger traffic for the first time. Later this line would extend to Bangor and the main line would run from Belfast to Newcastle, with branches to Donaghadee, Ballynahinch and Ardglass.
It was later absorbed into the Ulster Transport Authority in 1948 and all but the line from Belfast to Bangor was closed in 1950.
Ballycullen Halt
This halt was on the old railway line leading to Comber.
The new road here follows part of the old railway line
There is a new housing development being built on the site of the former Knightsbridge Inn to commemorate the stop.
The Cache
This is a screw top magnetic micro a little larger than a 35ml container.
Unfortuneatly to keep this true to the location of the old platform, there is limited parking. A short walk is required along the footpath to reach this location.
The last few metres to the cache are not wheelchair friendly.
This is a busy road at peak times so please take care of children and pets (and yourself of course)
