The iconic ruin of Dunluce Castle bears witness to a long and tumultuous history. First built on the dramatic coastal cliffs of north Antrim by the MacQuillan family around 1500, the earliest written record of the castle was in 1513.

It was seized by the ambitious MacDonnell clan in the 1550s, who set about stamping their mark on the castle under the leadership of the famous warrior chieftain Sorely Boy MacDonnell during an era of violence, intrigue and rebellion.

THE GIANT’S CAUSEWAY

The Giant's Causeway, renowned for its polygonal columns of layered basalt, is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland and in 2015 was awarded the UKs Best Heritage Attraction at the British Travel Awards.

Resulting from a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago, this is the focal point of a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has attracted visitors for centuries.Sea birds can be seen off the coast around the Causeway, with species such as fulmar, petrel and razorbill being frequently observed alongside rare and unusual plant species on the cliffs and nearby rock formations.

The Giant’s Causeway is also steeped in myths and legends. Some say it was carved from the coast by the mighty giant, Finn McCool who left behind an ancient home full of folklore. Look out for clues of his existence – including The Giant’s Boot and Wishing Chair.

BALLINTOY HARBOUR

Ballintoy Harbour can be discovered in the picturesque village of Ballintoy. Known as a ‘raised beach’ it is located 17 miles north-east of Coleraine and five miles west of Ballycastle.

The small fishing harbour can be found at the end of a small narrow steep road down Knocksaughey Hill, which passes by the entrance to Larrybane and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. The village itself, which is just 1/2 mile from the harbour, has a charming array of small shops, two churches, including the quaint white Ballintoy Parish Church on the hill above the harbour, as well as tourist accommodation, restaurants, commercial and social facilities.

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Briadge, This is where you can walk across a swinging rope bridge. This is not for the faint hearted! Anyone with limited mobility should note that it is a one mile walk from the car park to reach the Rope Bridge.

Golf Trips

The Causeway coast is rich with golf courses - Castlerock, Portstewart, Rathmore, Royal Portrush, Bushfoot, and Ballycastle . Ballyliffen in Donegal is only 1.5 hours drive from Portstewart so we think it is fair to say that golfers are spoilt for choice and could explain why this area has produced so many Major winners.
