Not for the faint hearted or those who do nto like crowds, I can assure you. Towards the end of August every year the quiet little town of Ballycastle, turns into hell on earth. The fair is said to be some 400 years old and was originally to celebrate the harvest and to trade horses. Today it has become a national tourist attraction and sadly has lost some of its local flair. But if you are in Ballycastle at teh end of August perhaps it is worth a try?
