Absolutely overrated. Many trees have been broken or cut down. Completely overcrowded during normal daytime. You really don't have to go there...only if it's on your way.

This iconic moody avenue of beech trees was planted by the Stuart family in the eighteenth century. Two centuries later, the trees remain a treat and are one of the most photographed natural phenomena in Northern Ireland. Most recently used as a film location in Game of Thrones.

Bushmills is home to the oldest licenced whiskey distillery in the world. Four Centuries later, they’re still making whiskey in Bushmills with Irish barley, and the water from their own stream.

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.

Beautiful little harbour located in the seaside village of Cushendun. The Mary McBrides across the road from here sells delicious food and real ales. There is also a café and convenience store nearby where you can pick up some snacks and take a respite on the sandy shore nearby.
