Welcome to the site Dan, if you're moving down to Larne, you can't beat a good stroll and camp up on Scawt Hill or The Sallagh Braes: https://goo.gl/EyN1iS

that looks good mate im not familiar with that part of the country at all is it easily found and any recommendation for where to pitch?

It's easy enough to get to, it's about 3 miles behind Ballygally, which is roughly 5 miles up the coast-road from Larne. The easy way is to drive up and park at the Linford car-park and then walk up to the Braes. Alternatively you can walk the back roads from Larne, pitch for the night then walk down towards the car-park, down to Ballygally and along the coast back into Larne, which is how i got there. There's enough places to pitch, i just found an area that gave me the best views.
