America 250, Haughey's Fort, and Sailing on Strangford

The cultural and historical links between Cullybackey and the Declaration of Independence and the 3,000-year-old major prehistoric centre in Armagh may be one of Europe’s oldest.

The cultural and historical links between Cullybackey and the Declaration of Independence are explored, along with Haughey’s Fort in Armagh - a major prehistoric site dating back 3,000 years and one of Europe’s oldest. Helen Mark goes sailing on Strangford Lough with the East Down Yacht Club.
Plus, a remarkable exhibition at Hillsborough Castle reveals its unique connections to American history, a look back at the busker from Glengormley who became a Hollywood screen idol, and the Ulster College of Music celebrates 60 years of inspiring cross-community music in Belfast.

Presented by Helen Mark.
