A local attraction one must see while staying in Antrim County is the Giants Causeway. Since 1986 it has been
listed on the World Heritage site. It is a perfect example of the extraordinary things the earth can create as it
evolves. Rock formations were built from volcanic rock from old volcanic activity. There are many walks that you
can take to view the scenery and visit the Giants Causeway. Most of these walks are around two miles long. Ask at
local guide canters for more details if there is an interest in these trails.
Another attraction located on the Antrim coast and nearby the Giants Causeway is the ruins of
Dunluce Castle. It is set apart from the coast by a deep chasm. Built on hundred feet high basalt
rock with steep cliffs surrounds this castle lending to its amazing view. This place is rich with history that has
ruins that date back to the 1200's and was added to in years to follow. Many historical battles have occurred here.
Movies have even been filmed here, so you may recognize it. It is one of the most famous Northern Ireland castles.
If you are in Northern Ireland or traveling the Antrim Coastline, the historic Dunluce Castle is a stop that should
be on your itinerary.
If fun in the sun is what you and your family are looking for, then a stop to Portrush Whiterocks
Beach should be included. This beach is a beautiful setting for having lunch or splashing around.
There are many spots to pull in and park off the main coast road. Here at one of these numerous locations you could
view many of the historical locations on the Antrim coast. With white sands and grassy knolls this is the perfect
place to visit if you love the water. If you are looking for a glorious place to spend time by the sea, then you
have found it at Whiterocks Beach.
An attraction with a bit of adventure would be the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. It
is a rope bridge that connects the main land and a small island called Carrick. The island does not have fences on
its cliffs, so caution must be used. This island offers another spectacular view. If you are brave enough to cross
the rope bridge, you will enjoy this amazing setting. Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is more fun for the whole
family.
The Old Bushmills Distillery is another historic site you can visit if you are looking to learn
about the history and heritage of Northern Ireland. Founded in 1608 and was first licensed by King James. Now owned
