A giant journey
Some places make you want to take your time... like the Causeway Coastal Route. Clinging to Ireland's rugged northern coastline between Belfast city and Derry~Londonderry, this is a glorious mix of remarkable geology, pristine beaches and exhilarating clifftop walks. The scenery is mind-blowingly beautiful – think vast ocean views, rolling green glens, sea arches and butter-coloured coves. And when it comes to epic adventures – there’s no better place, with the Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle and the Carrick-a Rede rope bridge knocking it out of the park.
But for all its epic sights, it's the smaller experiences on the Causeway Coast that will stay in your memory: edging around a hairpin bend on a craggy headland, eating freshly caught seafood on the beach, and sipping a local whiskey in front of an open fire.
