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 Cause way 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 spent 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 by a drinks
