In terms of location, the Resort is located in County Antrim, 10 minutes from the town of Ballymena, 20 minutes from the International Airport and 30 minutes from the city centre. And Galgorm is steeped in history…​

​Located on the site of a pre-1600 castle, the demesne dating from the early 17th century.
