Giant's Causeway
Venture to the Giant's Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a landscape sculpted by myth and geology. Legend tells of Finn McCool, a giant who built this causeway as a bridge to Scotland. Science reveals its origin as an ancient volcanic eruption that cooled to form over 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, predominantly hexagonal in shape. Explore this otherworldly terrain, where nature defies expectations and imagination takes flight. Walk among the pillars and feel the energy of this unique and awe-inspiring natural wonder.
The Dark Hedges
Wander down the enchanting Dark Hedges, an avenue of intertwined beech trees that has captured imaginations worldwide. Planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to frame the entrance to Gracehill House, these trees now form an atmospheric tunnel of creaking branches and dappled light. Beyond their captivating beauty, the Dark Hedges are shrouded in folklore, said to be haunted by the Grey Lady. Their fame was further cemented by their role as the iconic King's Road in Game of Thrones, and a cameo in Transformers: The Last Knight. Experience the magic of this iconic location, where fantasy and reality intertwine.
Belfast City
Delve into the heart of Northern Ireland with a visit to Belfast, a city brimming with history, culture, and resilience. Once known as 'Linenopolis' and 'Old Smoke' due to its industrial prowess, Belfast now stands as a testament to its vibrant spirit.
