Where land meets ocean in dramatic contrast and legendary scale.
The Causeway Coast is Northern Ireland’s most iconic walking region — a rugged seaboard of basalt cliffs, ancient ruins, crashing waves, and views that feel otherworldly. It’s a place of elemental drama, from the mythic stones of the Giant’s Causeway to crumbling castles and wind-battered headlands.
Trails wind past sea arches and sandy bays, through villages shaped by salt and story. You’ll walk cliff-top paths with panoramic views, cross rope bridges above the Atlantic, and wander ruins where Irish kings once ruled. This isn’t just sightseeing — it’s soul-stirring coastal walking.
One of Ireland’s great coastal routes. This 33-mile (53 km) trail stretches from Portstewart to Ballycastle, linking landmarks like the Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Expect sheer cliffs, windswept beaches, and cinematic vistas.
A short but scenic coastal section perfect for day walkers. Highlights include golden sands, wave-cut platforms, and ocean-sculpted rock formations that shift with the light.
