About

Boneybefore is situated on the northern outskirts of Carrickfergus, bordering Belfast Lough. The area is primarily residential, with housing developments and local amenities serving the community. Its coastal position provides views across the water towards the County Antrim shoreline.

The area is historically significant as the ancestral departure point of Andrew Jackson's parents before emigrating to America. A small cottage museum commemorates this link to the US president. The locality also includes green spaces and walking paths along the lough shore, with the working harbour and industry of Carrickfergus visible to the south.
