Walk to Galboly: How?
« on: August 07, 2013 »

Hi guys,

I'm new here but I'm really liking the forum so far. I'm planning a trip with some friends; we heard about Galboly, 'The Hidden Village', and are pretty interested to check it out! Can anyone tell me the best route to walk to Galboly; I'm struggling to find information elsewhere online, although I believe you can start at Glenariff?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Connor

Hi, welcome!

Google seems to think this is the path to it: http://www.ikimap.com/map/path-galboly

but also some of our regulars have been there, perhaps they will give you pointers: http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/other/galboly-the-hidden-village/

The People of Galboly in 1901
The O’Boyles lived in the first house. Charles was the head of the family and Lizzie was his wife. They had two children and also Arthur Robinson lived in the house, his relationship was unknown.

In house no. 2 Annie White and her son Robert Gibson lived.

The Blacks lived in house no. 3, Daniel and his sister Margaret.

One of the Murphy families lived in the fourth house. Patrick and Anne, his wife, had two children.

In house number 6 lived another Murphy family, Neal and Jane had four children.

The seventh house was unoccupied.

Lots of the people of Galboly were farmers and a few were housekeepers or scholars.
