Causeway Coast

Just north of Belfast the road hugs the coastline, passing picturesque villages and offering breathtaking views across to Scotland. It’s no wonder Causeway Coast has been voted one of the Top 10 coastal drives in the world – and the magical thing is it’s right on Belfast’s doorstep. Book a day tour from Belfast city or make your visit more than just a weekend and hire a car for a couple of days. Either way, make sure you tackle the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge along the way. The swaying structure is suspended above a 100ft chasm, linking the mainland with the tiny Carrick-a-Rede island. Hold on tight, hope it’s not too windy and take your camera.
