Dear User,
Welcome to the Uncharted Histories of the Causeway Coast Interactive Map. We hope you enjoy exploring the rich historic, built and cultural heritage of the magnificent Causeway Coast. This map primarily focuses on the Causeway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural (AONB), a national designated landscape, which also encompasses the Giant’s Causeway and Causeway Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site (Northern Ireland’s only World Heritage Site).
If you would like more information on the AONB or the World Heritage Site visit www.ccght.org to learn more about these special landscapes.
This map was developed by Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust as part of the Uncharted Histories of the Causeway Coast project, which seeks to explore and share the lesser known histories and stories of the Causeway Coast. This project will deliver free digital resources, training and events to provide access to heritage for local communities, residents and visitors. Histories will also be added to the Northern Ireland Community Archive (digital archive) for posterity.

Acknowledgements
Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust would like to thank Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council Museum Services, North Mapping Services and Quarto Collective for their support in the delivery of the Uncharted Histories project.
Special thanks also to Ballintoy Archaeological and Historical Society, Portrush Heritage Group and Causeway Community Association for their contributions and support.
This map and wider project would not have been possible without the kind contributions of each and every contributor who kindly submitted their histories for inclusion. These individuals and heritage groups offered their time and efforts to share their histories, research, memories and more, for the benefit of the wider community. We cannot thank you enough.
Through this map we hope to help tell the uncharted, often forgotten stories which can be found all across this outstanding landscape.
