Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland is an impressive ruin perched on a cliff above the sea. Its dramatic location and rugged rocky landscape lend the castle a special atmosphere. The remains tell a rich history and offer fascinating insights into medieval defensive architecture. The views of the sea and the surrounding nature make a visit an unforgettable experience. Dunluce Castle is a place that combines both history and nature in a striking way.

Absolutely overrated. Many trees have been broken or cut down. Completely overcrowded during normal daytime. You really don't have to go there...only if it's on your way.

De Burgh's castle was primarily a military fortress, notable for its robust defensive features typical of Norman architecture. The design included impressive walls and strategic positioning to take advantage of the natural defensive advantages of the clifftop location.

A very impressive castle, part of which has collapsed into the sea along with the cliff. The visit can easily be combined with a visit to the Giant's Causeway.

This iconic moody avenue of beech trees was planted by the Stuart family in the eighteenth century. Two centuries later, the trees remain a treat and are one of the most photographed natural phenomena in Northern Ireland. Most recently used as a film location in Game of Thrones.

Beautiful Portballintrae. Originally a fishing village, nestled around the perfect horse shoe shaped Ballintrae Bay, If you are lucky enough to catch a mid Summer sunset here you will be blessed. The Giant’s Causeway Tramway takes you from Giant's Causeway to Bushmills, and runs through the sand dunes above the largest beach, commonly known as Runkerry Strand. There are walks and trails throughout.
