General presentation
Causeway Coast and Glens
Spectacular coast of basalt, cliffs, castles in ruins, rope bridge and green valleys.
Giant's Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede and Dunluce Castle are the most telling landmarks of Causeway Coast and Glens. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, natural spaces and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: frequent wind and popular sites. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Natural site
Giant's Causeway
Giant's Causeway strikes by its regular basalt columns, laid between dark cliffs and agitated sea. The tour is more likely to include trails above the site, as the overall views and coastal walk give the rock formations more strength.
Gateway
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge transforms a short coastal walk into a very physical experience, with suspended footbridge, cliffs and sea below. The place is especially interested in the sensation of exposed passage and for the views of the coast of Antrim in clear weather.
Ruins
Dunluce Castle
Dunluce Castle hangs its ruins on the edge of a cliff, in a striking balance between broken architecture and open sea. The remains of the castle read quickly, but the approaches and views give the site a lasting dramatic strength.
