Leave the hustle and bustle of Belfast behind and let us show you what else Northern Ireland has to offer. Stand where Giants stood, marvel at the beauty, and to top it off we included the Titanic museum in this one day trip across the North.
Dunluce Castle
“There was an old man of Dunluce, who went out to sea on a goose. When he’d gone out a mile, he observed with a smile, it is time to return to Dunluce.” Unlike the old man we are not returning but in fact, visiting. A quick photo stop at one of the best castle ruins in Ireland and steeped in history. Balanced on the edge of a cliff Dunluce Castle is truly a sight to behold. Think you ever burned a pot on the stove..well the Lady of the House once found her kitchen collapsed into the sea! The castle has been used as the setting for the villains' lair in the film 'The Medallion' with Jackie Chan. It also appeared in the artwork of the inner gatefold of the 1973 Led Zeppelin album Houses of the Holy.
Giant's Causeway
Come and see where the Giant Finn MacCool once roamed the earth. Rumour has it that Finn was so enraged with the Scottish giant, Benandonner, that he tore large pieces out of the nearby cliffs and rammed them down into the seabed, making a causeway between Northern Ireland and Scotland. Benandonner crossed the sea to fight Finn but a caning plan made him fear the Giant and on his hasty retreat he destroyed the rocks, leaving behind what we have today.
This must-see World Heritage Site is Northern Ireland's most popular visitor attraction, and for good reason. Magnificent seascape and of course the awe-inspiring hexagonal/polygonal stone columns that form the legendary Causeway itself, some of which reach 40 feet (12 meters) into the air. The Giant’s Causeway was declared a World Heritage Site in 1986. Some of the structures, having been subject to several million years of weathering, resemble objects, such as the Organ and Giant's Boot structures. Follow the trail down and see if you can spot them for yourself.
The Dark Hedges
Considered the most photographed natural phenomenon in Northern Ireland this lane of Breech trees is most definitely a site not to be missed. Planted 350 years ago to impress visitors as they approached the entrance to the Georgian mansion, Gracehill House, it still impresses us today. This is a dream location for amateur and professional photographers alike. A good opportunity to stretch the legs as you take in the view. You might even encounter The grey Lady as she swoops through the trees.
Titanic Museum
Come and relive the ill-fated story of the most famous ship ever built.This fantastic aluminum-clad building tells the story of the Titanic from conception, construction, and the launch. One of the world's leading tourist attractions and a must-see. Titanic Belfast has been credited for helping to transform tourism in Northern Ireland for the better over the past few years. The tourist attraction has also welcomed many famous visitors including Queen Elizabeth, Hillary Clinton, and the man who discovered the Titanic, Dr. Robert Ballard. Add your name to the list in this once in a lifetime experience.
