Top places to visit

1. Giant's Causeway

Around 40,000 basalt columns were pushed up through the earth to create the Giant's Causeway. It is a striking and strange sight; one which has drawn in hordes of tourists since the 19th century. Today, the Giant's Causeway is owned by the National Trust, and impeccably preserved. The poster pin-up for Northern Ireland's tourism industry, it is an absolute must-see.

2. Dunluce Castle

It's thought that the first Dunluce Castle was built in the 13th century by Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster. By the 16th century, it was in the hands of the McQuillans. These were a powerful family who became the Lords of Route. Later, the castle became the seat of the Earl of Antrim, before it was abandoned after the Battle of the Boyne.

3. The Dark Hedges

The Stuart family, who wished to impress visitors to their home in the nearby Gracehill House, planted the beech trees here some 200 years ago. It is quite apparent from a visit here just how successful they were, as the Dark Hedges still astound visitors today.

4. Old Bushmills Distillery

Ireland today has very few functioning distilleries. Not only is the Old Bushmills Distillery still making whiskey, it is widely considered to be the oldest licensed distillery in the world. Whether or not you're a whiskey fan, Old Bushmills Distillery is a fascinating visitor attraction. 120,000 people come here every year.

A row of wooden barrels with labels indicating they are from the 1600s and contain single malt whisky.

5. Portrush East Strand Beach

Portrush Beach is a shoreline that attracts vacationers from Belfast in the summer. It is split into several picturesque parts with their own distinct charms. Visit a different section of beach each day for a varied experience of dunes, sandy stretches and a tall sculpture that adorns the coastline.

A coastal town with houses along the beach and waves crashing onto the shore.

6. Carrick-a-Rede

Many years ago it was a much more precarious crossing, when salmon fishermen would use the bridge to check their nets, before the catch here dried up. Today the bridge is one of the country’s most beloved visitor attractions - around a quarter of a million people every year make the trip across and back, though every now and again some lose their nerve and have to be rescued from the island!
