Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council’s Museum Services have launched an engaging new heritage trail for Coleraine, offering residents and visitors a fresh way to explore the town’s rich architectural and cultural history.

The initiative has been developed as part of a project supported by the Department for Communities’ Historic Environment Fund 2025–26 Revival Stream.

Working with Primary 7 pupils from D.H. Christie Memorial Primary School, the project has produced a beautifully illustrated guide showcasing more than 20 of Coleraine’s historic buildings. The guide features watercolour images from illuminated addresses held in the collections of Coleraine Museum, the Honourable The Irish Society and Libraries NI, alongside historic photographs from the collections of Robert Anderson and Sammy Walker.

To further enhance the visitor experience, the heritage trail is accompanied by a detailed 3D map of Coleraine town centre, along with scale models of a number of the featured buildings. Using innovative Museum-in-a-Box technology, users can also listen to audio narration that brings the stories behind each location to life.
