The A43 (former B61) at Glenariff Forest Park
The B61 was a cross-country B-road in north County Antrim.
The road started on the B60 (now A42) to the north of Ballymena town centre and headed northeast across the Mountains of Antrim. It ended on the A2 coast road at Glenariff.
The B61 did not last long. In the mid-1920s it was upgraded to Class I status, becoming the A43, which it remains.
