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.

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.

Stroll along the rail line between Bushmills and Giant's Causeway stations on the stunning Causeway Coast. This is a great route for train lovers, as it's likely you'll see the beautiful old train passing as you make your way along. It's a nice idea to walk one way, and catch the train back, taking it all the wonderful sights on your way.

It's a pity that the path from the parking lot does not lead along the sea but along the road.
