Antrim Glens and the Giant’s Causeway

The Antrim Coast Road is considered one of the finest marine drives in Europe. The road up Glenariff provides a perfect route up a magnificent arable glen, while Glenaan has more rugged scenery. There are actually nine Glens of Antrim. Take time to explore the charming villages like Glenarm, Cushendun and Cushendall, the ‘Capital of the Glens’.

Providing access to the salmon fishery on a tiny island is the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. This hangs 80ft (25mt) above the sea and wobbles and twists as soon as you step on it. It is definitely not for people who suffer from vertigo!

The Giant’s Causeway is the only World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland. It resulted from a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago, which left an interesting geological formation of polygonal basalt columns. Good coastal walks in the area to view the ruins of Dunluce or Rathlin Island.

Old Bushmills Distillery, the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world, has been in operation since 1608 and exporting to America since 1784. Take a tour to see how they make whiskey.
