The North East Liberties of Coleraine (named after Coleraine town) is a barony in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. [2] It borders the north-Londonderry coastline and is bordered by three other baronies: Coleraine to the west; Dunluce Lower to the north-east; and Dunluce Upper to the south-east. [2] The North East Liberties of Coleraine formed the north-western part of the medieval territory known as the Route.
The area was part of County Antrim from 1584 to 1613, when it became part of the new County Londonderry.
