The Giantโ€™s Causeway Visitor Centre is the gateway to Northern Irelandโ€™s only UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has a grass-roofed design to blend into the landscape. Inside you'll find exhibitions on the geology, myths, and history of the Causeway. Toilet facilities, a cafรฉ and gift shop provide a good base to start from, before stepping out to explore the stones themselves.

Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland is an impressive ruin perched on a cliff above the sea. Its dramatic location and rugged rocky landscape lend the castle a special atmosphere. The remains tell a rich history and offer fascinating insights into medieval defensive architecture. The views of the sea and the surrounding nature make a visit an unforgettable experience. Dunluce Castle is a place that combines both history and nature in a striking way.

De Burgh's castle was primarily a military fortress, notable for its robust defensive features typical of Norman architecture. The design included impressive walls and strategic positioning to take advantage of the natural defensive advantages of the clifftop location.

A very nice little place. The free car park is very central and spacious. The entrance height is stated as 1.95m. In our case, the height bar was set aside and therefore open.

The diesel train runs between the picturesque town of Bushmills and the popular Giant's Causeway. In 1883, the original tramway was the first long electric tramway in the world!
