Eglinton

united kingdom

Eglinton is a tidy planned village from the early 1800s sitting in County Londonderry's Faughan River valley, just 8km east of Derry city along the A2. Named after the Earl of Eglinton, it keeps its original layout with a central green ringed by period terraced houses. The village sits right beside City of Derry Airport, Northern Ireland's second-largest airport, making it handy for travelers flying to London or Edinburgh. Main routes include the A6 to Belfast (116km), A5 to Omagh (67km), and local roads to Limavady (16km). The Faughan River running through town is famous for its salmon fishing from June to October.
