Beschrijving
Visit this spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site and walk in the footsteps of legendary giants! Discover iconic sights along the Antrim Coast such as Dunluce Castle and the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge
Escape Belfast for the day and explore the striking beauty of the North Antrim coastline and the geographical phenomenon that is Giant's Causeway.
Your adventure will start in Belfast city centre and you'll be taken out of the city and into the delightful villages and beautiful countryside of Belfast. Carrickfergus Castle is the first stop along the way. A beautifully preserved Normal castle, it is one of the best examples of medieval architecture in Northern Ireland.
Next is a photo stop at the rickety Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, swaying 30 metres above crashing waves below.
Next stop on the tour is the striking natural phenomenon that is the Giant's Causeway. You'll be led through this UNESCO World Heritage Site by an expert guide, following in the footsteps of the legendary giants Finn McCool and Benandonner. You'll learn all about the history of the landscape formed 50-60 million years ago by volcanic activity, and have plenty of time to explore, take pictures and soak it all in!
You'll then stop for lunch at the famous Dark Hedges, a striking avenue of beech trees in Northern Ireland, known for its haunting beauty. Planted in the 1700s, the intertwining branches branches form a natural tunnel that's often enveloped in mist, and has gained fame as a filming location for Game of Thrones, attracting many visitors.
The tour will then continue along the world-famous Causeway Coastal Route for the last stop of the tour at the haunting ruins of medieval Dunluce Castle. This location has inspired many local fantasy writers and gained fame as the House of Greyjoy in Game of Thrones.
