Dunluce Castle is an iconic historical castle which dates back over 500 years. With its location on the Cliff Edge of the north Atlantic, making it one of the most dramatic settings in Europe. The castle has been frequently used over the years in many movies most recently the tv series Game of Thrones (House of Greyjoy). There will be paid admittance included to visit and peruse castle and ground for 30 minutes. On a clear day you can see the coast of Scotland. A magical place for the adventurous photographer and for those who enjoy watching the abundant variety of wild birds which inhabit the coastal cliffs.

We arrive at the Giants Causeway at 2.30pm (lunch options available). Created 60 million years ago due to a series of volcanic eruptions which layered the surrounding area with 40,000 interlocking basaltic rock columns. Set off on the trail to the "Giant's Boot" apparently lost by Finn just over 2 metres large. Can it get any more magical? Take a seat in the famous "Wishing Chair." A must experience, the "Wishing Chair" is a natural throne formed of perfectly shaped columns of basaltic lava. Now the "Camel" the only steed capable of carrying Finn home across long distances. The Camel a basaltic dyke formed from cooling lava which has pushed its way through other layers of rock. The Clifftop Trail is a bird's eye view of the Giant's Causeway, a unique way to see the World Heritage Site and explore the stunning north coast of Ireland over to Scotland. The Causeway has trails for all ages. There is also a free train up and down from the centre to the coast.
