Embrace a Giant Spirit

Explore the Causeway Coastal Route and experience some of the best outdoor adventures in Northern Ireland.

DAY 1
The Gobbins Cliff Path 
On the thrilling Gobbins Experience, nature isn’t content to just sit back and be admired. It completely engulfs you: from the all-enveloping Irish Sea winds and the dolphins dancing off the coastline, to the squawking native sea birds and the salty air hitting your lips. 

Lunch and Tour in Glenarm Castle 
Glenarm Castle is the home of Viscount and Viscountess Dunluce and their family. The present castle has been in the McDonnell family since it was first built in 1636. Visit the house where you will see superb examples of Irish furniture as well as portraits of family members from the early 17th century through to the present day. Before taking up full-time residence at Glenarm, the family lived most notably at Dunluce Castle. The Walled Garden is one of Ireland’s oldest walled gardens. Originally created to supply the Castle with its fruit and vegetables, the Walled Garden is now filled with exciting flowers and specimen plants to captivate the keenest gardening enthusiast. Enjoy lunch in the charming Tea Room, situated in the old Mushroom House.

Sheans Horse Farm 
Trekking at Sheans is the perfect introduction for novice riders. Sheans Horse Farm will offer you a range of unique experiences from the freedom and fun of horse riding to getting stuck into some essential farming activities. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the North Antrim hills where, at the top, you can enjoy panoramic views over five counties. 

DAY 2
Causeway Coast Foodie Tours 
The early morning skies at Portrush Harbour are a rich and inky blue as you climb on-board a fishing boat bound for the Atlantic Ocean. Enroute to catch your breakfast, you’ll spot some of the wildlife that inhabit the area: seals, cormorants, black rabbits, herring gulls and perhaps even a pod of dolphins – or, if you’re really lucky, a minke whale.

Clifftop Experience - Away A Wee Walk 
The best way to avoid the crowds and get under the skin of a place is to explore it with a local friend. That’s what walking the Causeway Coast with Eimear Flanagan or one of her team feels like. These are their cliffs; they’re proud of this landscape and more than happy to share it with visitors. This five-mile walk through the heart of Northern Ireland’s only World Heritage Site is a personal discovery of a spectacular coastline. The National Trust Giant’s Causeway attracts upwards of a million visitors a year – and rightly so – but few people get to experience it quite like this.
 

DAY 3
Bakehouse 
A small family business passionate about the fantastic local food and beautiful countryside. Offering cookery classes based on traditional Irish food using local produce such as Lough Neagh Eel, blackberries and sloes. Enjoy the unique hospitality of the Bakehouse and try your hand at traditional bread making.

Toome Bridge – River Bann Tours 
The Lower River Bann, a passage to Lough Neagh and a gateway to the Glens, is a picturesque route to discover the rich cultural heritage and native wildlife of the region. River Bann Tours is the perfect way to connect you to the historical towns and villages along the river, where you can disembark to explore the outstanding local attractions, meet the local people and enjoy the delicious local food options. Visit the Lock Keepers Cottage, tea room and visitor centre situated along the River Bann as it meets Toome canal flowing out of Lough Neagh. This small bespoke centre has information and artefacts which uncover the importance of the region and its waterways, from the first settlements by Mesolithic Man through time. You can learn about the heritage of the local area and discover the unique fauna and flora of the region. View the section of Toome Canal that appeared in the Game of Thrones® episode “Kill the Boy” from season five when it was used to shoot the passage of Jorah Mormont and Tyrion Lannister through the ruins of Old Valyria.
