Geocache Description:

This is a straighforward cache and dash. The cache is by the side of a busy road so you may want to park at the near by petrol station and walk back to the cache form there. 
The area is usually muggle free, but there will be quite a few muggles driving by so discretion is necessary. 
Bring your own pencil / pen.


Greenisland is a small village on the outskirts of Belfast and Carrickfergus.

Welcome to Greenisland

From the Doomsday project:

Greenisland's existence as a centre of population is due mainly to the advent of the railway in 1847.               
The original station, Carrickfergus Junction ,was built as a turning point for main line trains on the Belfast - Ballymena line. In 1848,the track was extended to Carrickfergus with a halt at Trooperslane,and 5 trains each way.
The continuation to Larne in 1862 introduced the 'Villa Ticket' anyone building a house within one mile of a station was entitled to free first or second class travel(depending on the valuation) for 10 years. Carrickfergus Junction became  GREENISLAND  in 1893.
The construction of the  Loop Line (1931-34)avoided the necessity for mainline trains to reverse at the turn table at Greenisland.
