Lisnagarvey

Lisnagarvey

Lisnagarvey (Irish: Lios na gCearrbhach) is a small village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, near Lisburn. It is also the original name of Lisburn, before it was renamed following a fire.

Lisnagarvey was the site of a defeat of the mostly Scotish Royalists at the hands of the Parliamentarians in 1649. See Battle of Lisnagarvey

Close to Lisnagarvey there is a high power medium wave BBC radio transmitter with a radio mast of unique design, known as the Lisnagarvey transmitting station. It has the only diamond shaped radio mast, known as Blaw-Knox Radiator, in Western Europe.

When David Trimble was created a peer, he took the name "Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey".

Sport

The village lends its name to Lisnagarvey Hockey Club, one of the most successful in Ireland, based in Hillsborough.
