Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 18:54, 14 November 2018 (UTC).

Interesting park connected with myth and people, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I lie the rock image best, so focus on the first hook, have added "pictured". How do you feel about an infobox? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:16, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Gerda Arendt. I left the infobox off as there wasn't one on any of the other Northern Irish parks I looked at. I generally like to see them and have added an appropriate box now - Dumelow (talk) 17:21, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
