AUGUST 26 – 27 BELFAST TO PORTRUSH






• We stayed one night in Belfast which really involved a small walk around town and catching up on some laundry.
• After leaving Belfast, we made a conscious decision to use the costal roads leading to Portrush. It appeared to be a great decision – the coast line is some of most beautiful I’ve ever seen. The huge green hills meet the crisp blue ocean.
• A little coffee break in the town of Larne, a lunch break in Ballycastle , a great climb over the Carrick-a Rede Rope Bridge (located on the North Antrim Coast, east of Ballintoy) and a walk around The Giants Causeway (a magical area of about 40,000 interlocking hexagonal basalt columns caused by volcanic eruption) were the highlights of the day.
• I would highly recommend this drive to anyone visiting the north of Ireland.
