Giant’s Causeway
The giant's causeway.
Engulf yourself in Irish myth and legend at Northern Ireland’s most visited attraction, and be stunned the 30,000 towering hexagonal basalt columns. Clamber on the stones, feel the power of the crashing waves and marvel at the awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. *Access to the stones is free of charge. Entrance to visitor centre is an extra charge (Free for National Trust members)
Carrick-a-rede
Do you dare cross the famous Carrick-A-Rede Rope bridge, hanging 30 metres over the crashing waves below? The less adventurous amongst you can take in the beautiful scenery, grab a coffee in the café, or explore Larrybane Quarry, a prominent Game of Thrones location.
Antrim Coast Road
The Antrim Coast Road is widely agreed to be one of the finest stretches of road anywhere in the world. The road hugs the coast line giving incredible seaside views, passing unspoilt beaches and sheltering under rugged cliffs. You may even see Scotland on a good day!
Dunluce Castle
Dunluce Castle is a now-ruined medieval castle in Northern Ireland. It is located on the edge of a basalt outcropping in County Antrim, and is accessible via a bridge connecting it to the mainland.
Bushmills Distillery
