One of the best coastal drives in the world, the Causeway Coastal Route stretches from Belfast to Derry/Londonderry and brings you past breathtaking scenery and unforgettable experiences. Along the way you can walk the Gobbins Cliff Path, clinging to the rugged edges of the County Antrim coast, cross the exhilarating Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge that links the mainland with tiny, craggy Carrick Island, or visit the working lighthouse and newly refurbished RSPB seabird centre on the beautiful Rathlin Island.

A must see is the Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns tumbling into the ocean. No visit to Northern Ireland is complete without a walk across its epic stepping stones. Also, nearby is the Bushmills distillery well worth a visit for all whiskey lovers.

Stay for a night or a couple of days and use the park as your base to tour around.
