Ballymena Hookups: Ballymena Women Want to Meet

No-strings fun for adults in Ballymena, with Antrim, Ballyclare and Larne a short drive away.

No narrow-gauge train required: hookups in Ballymena

Ballymena once had its own little railway. The Ballymena, Cushendall and Redbay Railway, a narrow-gauge line with a track only 3 feet wide, ran out to a place called Retreat, also in County Antrim, and operated for 65 years, from 1875 to 1940. Nobody is waiting on that platform now, so a date in Ballymena starts with working out who is travelling, and how.

The town has around 29,000 people and sits in the Mid and East Antrim area, alongside Larne and Carrickfergus. Cross that line and you are quickly in other areas: Antrim, Ballyclare and Newtownabbey belong to Antrim and Newtownabbey, Ballymoney to the Causeway Coast and Glens, and Belfast to an area of its own. On a dating site those boundaries matter less than the miles do.

Close enough for a weeknight: Antrim, Ballyclare and Larne

Even the nearest town is a proper drive from Ballymena, so meeting halfway beats asking one person to do all the miles. Antrim is about ten miles away, Ballyclare thirteen and a half and Larne eighteen, and all three suit a weeknight. Belfast, about twenty-three miles off, is one for the weekend, and the longest drive of the lot, so leave yourself time.
