North-East Liberties of Coleraine, Historical barony in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland
The North-East Liberties of Coleraine is a historical territory in County Londonderry that stretches along the coastline and includes multiple parishes and settlements such as Portstewart. The region is made up of several civil parishes that together form a substantial administrative area in Northern Ireland.
The territory belonged to County Antrim until 1613, when it was incorporated into the newly established County Londonderry. This change was part of a broader redistribution of land in the region during the early 17th century.
The region maintains separate administrative functions from surrounding baronies, with distinct electoral processes and local governance structures established by parliamentary acts.
When visiting, it helps to explore the different parishes such as Ballyaghran, Ballymoney, and Ballywillan that make up the area. The proximity to the coast makes it a pleasant destination for understanding the local landscape and visiting historical sites.
The North East Liberties shares borders with three distinct baronies: Coleraine to the west, Dunluce Lower to the north-east, and Dunluce Upper to the south-east.
