Coleraine, on the River Bann in County Londonderry, had a population of around 24,600 at the 2021 census — a university and market town with a claim to some of the oldest history in Ireland.
Home to one of Ireland's oldest settlements
On the edge of the modern town, at Mount Sandel, archaeologists uncovered evidence of a Mesolithic settlement dated to around 7900-7600 BC — hut sites, hearths and tools left by hunter-gatherers living beside the Bann thousands of years before farming reached Ireland. Excavated in the 1970s, Mount Sandel is regarded as one of the earliest known sites of human habitation on the island, giving Coleraine a claim to history that stretches back far further than its medieval town charter or its 20th-century university campus.
What that history doesn't leave behind
None of that deep history translated into a dedicated sweet shop for the modern town, and Coleraine doesn't have a local option set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines.
