This is the classic example of having opinion on something you know little or nothing about❌ I take great exception to this video. Northern Ireland is a beautiful place to live and it’s people are the most welcoming on earth. By all means come and visit the place first then give a knowledgeable opinion.

Good joke. I've been to N.I. numerous times and what I remember vividly , when chatting in a pub, a guy said , to me , if they try and build a mosque here , we'd burn the fking thing down. Which curiously made me feel very safe.
So true! The high-street shops in Ballymena are awesome. We are from Antrim and we prefer to visit Ballymena for shopping due to the convenience, variety and of course reasonable parking fares.
You’re all missing the point. The guy is just reading published facts/surveys/statistics versus that of other towns and villages in NI. Doesn’t have to know or lived in any of the towns mentioned. You should also note his disclaimer at the video introduction about the info being relative. Then consider the areas in which the conclusions arrived at. So little point in you getting all parochial in your comments denying what is staring you in the face.
@Learning Canteen - why, at the start of this video (your preamble, before you begin your countdown) of the worst places to live in Northern Ireland, do you have several photographs of Portstewart??!!! One of the nicest places to live ANYWHERE on this planet!! As Frazer Spence has rightly pointed out, this makes it clear you have, very likely, never set foot in our beautiful little country.
It doesn't look any worse than the Isle of Wight! One feels that the problems you refer to are similar in any geographically remote location. The housing does not look too bad, certainly no worse than Shanklin or Cowes! Thanks for uploading.
Went to Portavogie once. It was Sunday and I didn't see another human being but had the distinct impression that the windows were all staring at me. The only thing missing was a tumbleweed. Very strange. Got stoned (with stones) in Kilkeel in my southern reg car.
As an American, I am planning on going to Northern Ireland. I don’t believe any of this content. I think it is a very beautiful place and I can’t wait to see it. ❤️
If only your photos matched the areas you are spouting about aka mixing photos of L/Derry with Lurgan for one example severaL times. Larne has not a large paramilitary presence. Where are you getting you information?
Lough Neagh is pronounced Nay. The Craigavon Bridge that you showed under Craigavon is in Derry / Londonderry, not Craigavon. Ballymena's high profile MP has a lot to answer for, fun fact he lives in Banbridge.
Got as far as Ballymena and if the rest of the video is as deceptive then it doesn't bode well.. The first image shown is very old and that street is now a bustling mostly pedestrianised area, then the delipidated old bandstand that was replaced years ago with a modern sculpture and outdoor seating area. Then the old chapel in Harryville that was demolished decades ago. 3 mistakes in under 30 seconds is impressive!
Nearly everything you say about Lurgan is completely false, the only factually correct thing you say is that it's on the M1 and part of the Belfast to Dublin rail line, as for the comment about "foreigners" not being welcome, my next door neighbour of 15 years is Czech, and I've got neighbours from Bulgaria, East Timor, Poland among other countries, and they're perfectly content here, Lurgan isn't Beverly Hills, but at least get your facts right before bullshitting about it......or some of the other places on your list.
Well said, I'm from antrim Town, my best friend in school was from Africa, nobody else wanted to be his friend, but I didn't care what they thought, live and let live
Tell you one thing. You’re completely wrong about Lurgan. Lurgan has one of the best parks in Northern Ireland, Brownlow House and is a very tight night community. Lurgan has produced many great sportsmen and athletes, such as Jacob Stockdale. Even hosted American soldiers in the Second World War. Can’t be all that bad 🤷🏻♂️
Well I stop in lurgan anytime Im in N lreland. Ive two brothers who married two local girls and are rearing young families there now.. The people are the salt of the earth and very welcoming and friendly.Your giving people a bum steer with your post! Im a Dublin man and Im proud to have friends and family from lurgan as theyre a close knit community and very social.❤❤
Your statement is not true sir, I'm a traveler from Johannesburg living in Lurgan here on work. The people aren't "friendly" to foreigners especially unless they have pink skin. And I'm just here to do work local lads don't want to do. I'm not taking anything away from anyone but still get treated like a terrorist.

Spot on, Larne is a total dump, Craigavon has so many roundabouts everyone who lives there is disorientated and many towns like Carrickfergus are spoilt by drugs and bums roaming the streets.
Carrick tends to have these so-called hairy-arsed 'paras' who know more about getting scared single mothers into keeping their drugs (for them) rather than 'fighting for good'.
I recently found out that my G G Grandfather was from Larne, and he left for the USA in 1850 when he was 14. I hope to visit Larne someday. Greetings from California.😎
lets not forget that Craigavon was the creation of the British government a so-called new town and is an urban planning disaster. It started in the 70s as an attempt to amalgamate Lurgan and Portadown and failed miserably.
@@davidsinclair5933 How many housing estates had to be demolished in Craigavon as no one would live in them? I remember driving through there and seeing all the derelict houses. Some of the estates were like wastelands in the middle of nowhere. 😂
A bit mixed up. Shots of (London)derry interspersed with several of these towns. Terrible pronounciation of Lough Neagh. 'C- , must do better. See me after school.'
Sure the dude can not speak English correctly (if you listen carefully), so do not be so surprised that he is unable to pronounce the Gaelic place names (this is much more obvious in the video) in the 6, or anywhere on the Island, or Scotland for that matter.
Between displaying incorrect location photographs, the pronounciation of some of the names, and some questionable selections, I'd have to agree with you. And I'm curious as to how Dungiven has the worst air quality in western Europe. It's located close to the north west coast with plenty of fresh air blowing in from the Atlantic. I could well be wrong, but that fact sounds a bit sus to me.
The comments about Ballymena are wrong and out of date. The place is not economically deprived, in fact it is bustling. Unemployment is very low and many Immigrants from Eastern Europe have settled in the town. ( Ballymena has the largest Polish population in NI outside of Belfast.) The standard of housing is good and prices are affordable. As the saying goes if you know a better hole go to it.
Can't really distinguish Lurgan and Craigavon, they're essentially the same area. Poorly researched to show photos of the craigavon bridge in Derry with talking about craigavon
I've worked all over Northern Ireland and the most ignorant , cheeky people are in Ballymena and its surrounding villages. Ballymoney people are the friendliest
Apart from an up-and-coming football team, there's no reason to go near Larne it's a shame because it has potential even in the 90s I remember it being an ok place for shopping.
The only thing i agree with in this video is that loyalist or unionists feel insecure about their place in the north hence all the marking out of territory with flegs etc. On the other hand we Irish know where we are and yes u might see the odd tricolour but we dont feel the need to ruin otherwise nice villages with flags on every lamp post, this is Ireland, north south east west...Ireland, feel a bit sorry for the unionists they must feel very displaced
I'm surprised you didn't nominate Belfast. Perhaps because it's a large city you didn't. I haven't been in it for about twenty five years but last night I looked at a walking tour of it on RUclips and I was totally shocked. The city centre is now full of coffee shops and all the once lovely classy shops are gone. And to make things worse there are so many shops and businesses shuttered and boarded up. Very sad and depressing.
Go into Belfast city centre on a Sunday morning about 12.30 before shops open it looks like a 3rd world country with the added bonus of junkies roaming about
I’m from Belfast. Everyone here and as far as you can go in anti, agree about Larne. Craig Avon was a place to send all the criminals and people ejected from their home place who were ‘undesirables’. Bit like a penal colony.
I think Limavady and Crumlin have that edge too (of being places for people exiled from Belfast) and certain estates of Downpatrick - it's a funny bit of history that I'd certainly forgotten about.

What Town has one of the largest park in Ni 2 golf courses - a world class nature reserve, two great public gardens, a ski slope, a fantastic leisure centre , a great accessible shopping centre and great transport connections - yes - lurgan / craigavon that is why private and public housing developments are spring up and people want to live there - with many multi national companies inesting here like ALMAC- uneducated videos like this to not project the reality 😢

OMG I nearly cried laughing at the comments ! ......... The Irish sense of humour is beyond brilliant ! .........thank you ALL for making my day I was feeling quite down as I live alone & it's Christmas I actually live just outside Ballymena , down a little country lane with the best neighbours you could wish for . Ballymena is really central to sooo many things , fantastic health Centre , big M&S and lots of quality shops ............. very prosperous , great countryside & fabulous people I LOVE IT & yes I agree ..... this Video is very poorly researched indeed Take no notice of it you are all wonderful people X
He’s talking about Craigavon but shows a picture of Derry, I used to live in Craigavon from 1975 to 1982 and yes it was a Shithole. By the way it’s pronounced Lough Nay not Loch Neaugh
Mate, I hate larne I live there actually and there is nothing there. I ask anyone who like the town to name 10 good things about it. If that is possible I will be mind blown
Love the old men that hang around the high wall near the sea the towns heaviest seen them when I was there someone told me they are there all the time Larne 😂
Newtownards wipes the floor with Bangor. Looked round Bangor lately...boarded up shops in the main street and homeless people sleep in the doorways. Half of Queens Parade missing for nearly 2 decades. Hilarious it was awarded city status. Newtownards thriving, busy town centre. Try and buy a house there, even with huge private development ongoing, people queuing up to get in. Newtownards is doing very well thanks 💪
Rathfriland should've been in this A town thats majority hills Even though its not even my home town but been in it 4 or 5 times Anothor one Lisburn mainly one way streets Thank god my home place isnt in this
How dare you say that Craigavon is the most dangerous . It has been voted as the place people want to live due to the fact it doesn't matter what religion or race you are . I have lived here for 30 yrs and a lot of my family have been here from the start. Most of the children have grown up to be Doctors Nurses or run their own businesses . Of course there are one or two families that may be a problem , but that happens everywhere . A lot of people have fought for a long time to make this place a happy safe place to live. There are houses being built here all the time as people want to live here. Then someone like you who probably has never set foot in N.Ireland says things like this .
This video is not worth watching. I’d take a good guess you’ve never actually been to our country. This video wrong and your Stats I’d say our very outdated. Some areas you mentioned are some of the most expensive places to buy a property. Plus many of the photos and boundary places / buildings and key areas are actually not within the council boundaries you think they are. And your photos are very outdated. Nice try, but a swing and a miss. Sure don’t we love someone not from our country telling us what’s worst and bad about it. 😅 🤦🏻
Well if you hang about long enough in Ballymena you might bump into Liam Neeson who comes from there. Oh flip, Lurgan, they're not going to be happy with that lol. Is this video for real, it's almost like a joke, parody....OMG, a 'hole' and 'shitty'....😂 There are a lot of 'posh' people who choose to live around Kilkeel. Oh my goodness, this is the bitchiest, most hilarious thing I've heard in a while. People viewing this, please take the above with a pinch of salt, I think it's possibly AI gone mad!
It's likely just their accent. I am from Massachusetts, where we commonly drop Rs, and the pronounciation of the words island and Ireland come out sounding similar. It's not lazy or ignorance. It's how we've learned to speak. I can tell the difference between saying island and Ireland, but I will agree it's subtle. For people whose native pronounciation of these words is more distinct, they may not hear the difference.
My wife and I have been traveling all around the north for years now and in my opinion I totally disagree with this list. We stay in Kilkeel for a few days each year and I've found it to be one of the most welcoming and kind people. We even attended the 11th of July evening events. Which to my surprise was a fantastic night. The locals couldn't have been kinder and I even seen young ladies with their local Gaelic football stripes to my shock however they seemed to be really enjoying the evening. The views when walking around the town and along the seafront are breathtaking. Likewise I'd say much of the same with dungiven. Some of the most lovely people I've had the pleasure of meeting. The castle is also a fantastic piece of the town. Look forward to heading there each year. Likewise with Strabane and I could go on with many others. Hopefully whoever made this video will brighten up.
@@user-bh8vw2fj9i our flag was not on that particular bonfire. Infact there was nothing relating to anything Irish on it. And in my opinion that's the way they should all be
Where is Ballymoney mentioned? Ahh, I see it now in the chapters list. Obviously mixed it up with Ballymena. Not surprising after his pronunciation of Lough Neagh, the biggest lough/lake in the British isles.
@@elemar5 ok yes I am from Ballymoney but i live on Vancouver Island I do get home quite often , I would never think of Ballymoney on a list of worst towns , for sure its gone through some rough times , but a very friendly town .
When you can't even pronounce the names of the towns right and show wrong images in the wrong towns, it shows how unreliable and biased your research is. Absolute rubbish.
The town centre turns my stomach. Rejects from a Run DMC video roam the streets with no idea on how to cross the road, along with boarded up shop fronts, shops for lease/sale, a cash only nail bar, Turkish barbers, phone repairs, SF office, rubbish everywhere, a truly awful place.
You should really learn to pronounce some more of the place names properly for a start. This has been put together by someone eho clearly hasn't lived in Northern Ireland at all.
To anyone reading, most of this video is complete nonsense. Yeah larne is a bit crap but seriously I could definitely name 10 other towns that are worse. Oh and i don't live in Larne by the way
I’m from Kilkeel and it’s a deadon in a sense if some weren’t so bitter and had less flegs flying. Nuff foreigners live there so you’re wrong bout that. Ballymena is a nice wee town. It’s small but close to other bigger towns.
What a pile of shit this is, i lived in Northern Ireland for years and its a fascinating place home to brilliant people

And even better for those wishing to avoid it.
How is Coleraine??
Larne has one good advantage, the 🚢 out of it 😅😅
Larne is still good for bonfires if your into that sort of thing lol.
Ballyclare one is true there's nothing in the place its quiet enough most of the time but just very little about it shopping wise
Why is newcastle co down not on it
Because it's a city in North east England.😏 I know I'm kidding.
It maybe be in England but theirs ones in NI to

I live in ballymena and it was first😢
ballymena is amazing bro, theyre talking out their ass
@@alexlappin29179 ikr
@@alexlappin29179 are u from ballymena
I thought all town's in NI were depressing
This guy hasn't a clue - love Ballymena and the shopping is brilliant - love Kilkeel - get your facts right
Can't argue with these choices! And everyone knew Larne would be no.1, even the people from Larne!
The coastal scenery around Larne looks nice .
I thought it would be Bangor, tbh
I recently found out that my G G Grandfather was from Larne, and he left for the USA in 1850 when he was 14.
I hope to visit Larne someday. Greetings from California.😎
@@sterling557its a shithole be warned
Yes it had to b larne absolute.
Talks about Craigavon, shows a picture of Derry.
I live in Dungiven , I love it 😮
Don't listen to this. I live in Belfast . Ireland north and south are lovely . So are the people . Mgt
OMG I nearly cried laughing at the comments ! ......... The Irish sense of humour is beyond brilliant ! .........thank you ALL for making my day I was feeling quite down as I live alone & it's Christmas I actually live just outside Ballymena , down a little country lane with the best neighbours you could wish for . Ballymena is really central to sooo many things , fantastic health Centre , big M&S and lots of quality shops ............. very prosperous , great countryside & fabulous people I LOVE IT & yes I agree ..... this Video is very poorly researched indeed Take no notice of it you are all wonderful people X
Like everyone thinking larnes crap 😂keeps everyone else out shouldn’t be on this list best scenery and ppl about 🔴⚪️
He’s talking about Craigavon but shows a picture of Derry, I used to live in Craigavon from 1975 to 1982 and yes it was a Shithole. By the way it’s pronounced Lough Nay not Loch Neaugh
Mate, I hate larne I live there actually and there is nothing there. I ask anyone who like the town to name 10 good things about it. If that is possible I will be mind blown
Love the old men that hang around the high wall near the sea the towns heaviest seen them when I was there someone told me they are there all the time Larne 😂
Heavies
The air quality in Dungiven could be vastly improved if the locals kept their windows and doors closed 😂
I had to open the window when your ma called.🙄😂
Just wondered where Newtownards would be on the list
Not as high up as Bangor for certain 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@normiron736 Agree 👍 POND
Newtownards wipes the floor with Bangor. Looked round Bangor lately...boarded up shops in the main street and homeless people sleep in the doorways. Half of Queens Parade missing for nearly 2 decades. Hilarious it was awarded city status. Newtownards thriving, busy town centre. Try and buy a house there, even with huge private development ongoing, people queuing up to get in. Newtownards is doing very well thanks 💪
@@kevm7751 come on the Newton!
Yep Newtownards is the best. My town ❤❤❤
Armchair appraisal by some one I would suspect has never been in Ireland
Dungannon is pretty depressing.
I agree, and it continues to get worse. Dungannon qualifies to be in the top 4 of the worst places in N.I.
You missed Downpatrick, that’s an awful town, glad to get out of it!
mrantgarshall3026
Glad to see the back of you too !!!!
And Bangor
Downpatrick just floods alot
Rathfriland should've been in this
A town thats majority hills
Even though its not even my home town but been in it 4 or 5 times
Anothor one Lisburn mainly one way streets
Thank god my home place isnt in this
Lisburn town status just a joke
The mall is empty and no nightclubs in it the best thing about it is the bud out of it
You get good bud in Lisburn do ya ?
Just 8 ?
I lived in Ballyclare for five years, 2017 to 2022. It wasn’t that bad, it was just a bit boring.
How dare you say that Craigavon is the most dangerous . It has been voted as the place people want to live due to the fact it doesn't matter what religion or race you are . I have lived here for 30 yrs and a lot of my family have been here from the start. Most of the children have grown up to be Doctors Nurses or run their own businesses . Of course there are one or two families that may be a problem , but that happens everywhere . A lot of people have fought for a long time to make this place a happy safe place to live. There are houses being built here all the time as people want to live here. Then someone like you who probably has never set foot in N.Ireland says things like this .
This video is not worth watching. I’d take a good guess you’ve never actually been to our country. This video wrong and your Stats I’d say our very outdated. Some areas you mentioned are some of the most expensive places to buy a property. Plus many of the photos and boundary places / buildings and key areas are actually not within the council boundaries you think they are. And your photos are very outdated. Nice try, but a swing and a miss. Sure don’t we love someone not from our country telling us what’s worst and bad about it. 😅 🤦🏻
Thumbnail was tandragee but not on the list
Well if you hang about long enough in Ballymena you might bump into Liam Neeson who comes from there. Oh flip, Lurgan, they're not going to be happy with that lol. Is this video for real, it's almost like a joke, parody....OMG, a 'hole' and 'shitty'....😂 There are a lot of 'posh' people who choose to live around Kilkeel. Oh my goodness, this is the bitchiest, most hilarious thing I've heard in a while. People viewing this, please take the above with a pinch of salt, I think it's possibly AI gone mad!
Why do so many English people pronounce Northern Ireland as Northern Island. Is it just laziness or ignorance or both...
It's likely just their accent. I am from Massachusetts, where we commonly drop Rs, and the pronounciation of the words island and Ireland come out sounding similar. It's not lazy or ignorance. It's how we've learned to speak. I can tell the difference between saying island and Ireland, but I will agree it's subtle. For people whose native pronounciation of these words is more distinct, they may not hear the difference.
I was engaged to a lovely woman from Cushindall, but she turned out to be a werewolf.
Don't agree brought up in lurgan,great place
Are you pissed? Great place 😂😂😂😂
Thought they'd choose Portadown above it.
@@robertclarke8811 Lurgan, Craigavon, and Portadown, the unholy trinity of utter sh!tholes 😂
Where is dungannon lol
It should be #1 on the list, an utter kip.
@@bazbbeeb7226 full of druggies and gangs
Im surprised castlederg wasnt in this list.
As someone who lives in Holywood, I agree with every town on this list 😂
What a load of nonsense the Man has not got clue
"Lough Ney eo gaaa" [QED]
My wife and I have been traveling all around the north for years now and in my opinion I totally disagree with this list.
We stay in Kilkeel for a few days each year and I've found it to be one of the most welcoming and kind people. We even attended the 11th of July evening events. Which to my surprise was a fantastic night. The locals couldn't have been kinder and I even seen young ladies with their local Gaelic football stripes to my shock however they seemed to be really enjoying the evening. The views when walking around the town and along the seafront are breathtaking.
Likewise I'd say much of the same with dungiven. Some of the most lovely people I've had the pleasure of meeting. The castle is also a fantastic piece of the town. Look forward to heading there each year.
Likewise with Strabane and I could go on with many others. Hopefully whoever made this video will brighten up.
@@user-bh8vw2fj9i our flag was not on that particular bonfire. Infact there was nothing relating to anything Irish on it. And in my opinion that's the way they should all be
SM joinery, I suspect has other motives for the views he expresses.
@@SMJoinery Agree and I wonder why they were burning the flag of the Ivory Coast?
@@tubedoode2345 Like what?
Another poorly researched article by someone that has never stepped foot here.
Lough neearr? You literally can’t pronounce ANY of these places.
Just wonder why you have Ballymoney on your list , but nothing your video.
Where is Ballymoney mentioned?
Ahh, I see it now in the chapters list. Obviously mixed it up with Ballymena. Not surprising after his pronunciation of Lough Neagh, the biggest lough/lake in the British isles.
@@elemar5 ok yes I am from Ballymoney but i live on Vancouver Island I do get home quite often , I would never think of Ballymoney on a list of worst towns , for sure its gone through some rough times , but a very friendly town .
Good old Cow Town.
When you can't even pronounce the names of the towns right and show wrong images in the wrong towns, it shows how unreliable and biased your research is. Absolute rubbish.
Very poor research!
Leave Strabane out of it 😮
Mate, where's county Londonderry, ? That's made up.
Narnia ireland
You forgot Banbridge
The best thing about Larne is the Ferry out of it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 only messing! 😅
Why did you not put Bangor on this list as it is a DUMP.
How come aughnacloy is not on list total dump
Carrickfergus, Glengormley, Comber and Bangor should’ve made the list.
Comber is an outstanding town and a great place to live, Bangor is not a town and is a total tip, I agree with that one.
Ballynahinch might be the worst in the country
They obviously never went to Dungannon lol
The town centre turns my stomach. Rejects from a Run DMC video roam the streets with no idea on how to cross the road, along with boarded up shop fronts, shops for lease/sale, a cash only nail bar, Turkish barbers, phone repairs, SF office, rubbish everywhere, a truly awful place.
You should really learn to pronounce some more of the place names properly for a start. This has been put together by someone eho clearly hasn't lived in Northern Ireland at all.
To anyone reading, most of this video is complete nonsense. Yeah larne is a bit crap but seriously I could definitely name 10 other towns that are worse. Oh and i don't live in Larne by the way
I’m from Kilkeel and it’s a deadon in a sense if some weren’t so bitter and had less flegs flying. Nuff foreigners live there so you’re wrong bout that.
Ballymena is a nice wee town. It’s small but close to other bigger towns.
Before you start , it’s Northern Ireland and NOT Northern Island. It seem the English have a problem saying IRELAND
He is not English
The fact that ballykelly isn't top 5 tells me this guy hasn't a clue
Wow! How dare he even think of hitting the north towns the way has. I was shocked at how packed Ballymena was. False RUclipsr,
anything for a pound.
