However there is much more than that so if you are thinking about
Northern Ireland travel take this route and see some of the following 5
places.
Bushmills Distillery

Even better down tools for an hour or two take a tour of the factory and sample some local Irish whiskey which reaches all over the world as a famous brand of whiskey.
Ballycastle
A beautiful seaside town located in the North Coast of Ireland. It has gorgeous beaches and a local port.
The area beside Ballycastle has been designated an area of outstanding natural beauty. If you are there at the end of August you can take in the Oul Lammas Fair which brings in people from all over the world.
Rathlin Island
The small island of Rathlin while not on the coastal route is a few minutes trip by boat from Ballycastle. It really is worth a visit and has lots to explore. It is renowned for its puffins and hawks. Indeed it is a very important site for maritime life and many divers from all over the world have came to chase shipwrecks. Rathlin is part way between the North of Ireland Coast and Scotland.
Portrush
The coastal town of Portrush is the heartbeat for summer holiday when locals flock to its beaches and coastal life in the summer. Famed for its golf courses and all the facilities for families it is a great place for people to head for their camping and caravan holidays. There is everything you need to have a great holiday.
The Giant's Causeway
There is so much you can say about this unique place.The memory of the rock formations will be imprinted in your mind once you seen them.
This site is only about 2 miles from Bushmills where you will visit the Bushmills Distillery and a mere 13 miles from Ballycastle. So you can see nearly all of these sights are very close to each other.
The Giant's Causeway was awarded a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1986. Legend has it that the Causeway was formed by a Giant called Finn McCool who was 54 feet high. Indeed there are estimated to be 40,000 basalt columns going out into the ocean so he would have needed to be a giant!
