Whitehead

united kingdom

Whitehead perches on the County Antrim coast, 26 kilometers northeast of Belfast along Belfast Lough shores. The A2 coastal road connects it to Belfast in 30 minutes through Carrickfergus, while Larne lies to the north. Local trips to Greenisland and Carrickfergus reflect commuter patterns, with longer coastal tours reaching Portrush and Downpatrick. The town's most distinctive feature is its Victorian railway viaduct from 1848, whose stone arches curve gracefully through the center, framing lough views and creating an iconic landmark visible from both coastal paths and approaching roads.
