1929 Ulster TT Race Programme

Space does not permit me to give a detailed description of
Ulster's seaside resorts and watering places, but they are all up-
to-date and hospitable . They may be briefly summarised as
follows :—Carrickfergus, Whitehead, Larne, Cushendall, Cushen-
dun, Ballycastle and Portrush on the Antrim Coast ; Portstewart,
Castlerock, and Londonderry on the Londonderry Coast ; New-
townards, Ballywalter, Millisle, Portaferry, Donaghadee, Bangor,
Ardglass, Newcastle, Kilkeel, Rostrevor, Warrenpoint and Newry
on the County Down Coast . Inland there are many places worthy
of a visit—Lough Erne, with an islet for every day in the year,
provides facilities for boating, fishing, shooting, yachting ; Lough
Neagh, with the "round towers of other days shining in the waves
River Mourne near Newtownstewart
beneath," has a charm all its own, while almost every town has
its own golf links and tennis courts, where the visitor is always
welcome.
No article, however short, on Ulster would be complete without
a reference to the famous championship golf links at Newcastle
and Portrush, and it is hoped that many visitors will try their
skill on these links on which Vardon, Ray, Herd and many other
famous exponents of the game have played . Before the visitor
leaves Ulster, he must visit the Giant's Causeway—one of the
wonders of the world—a miracle in stone—he must see the largest
tobacco factory in the world, the largest flax spinning factory, the
largest shipyard, the largest ropeworks, and the largest distillery,
for Belfast boasts all these,and when he has seen Ulster's wondrous
beauty and tasted her wondrous hospitality, he will assuredly
long to come back .
