The Dark Hedges
Planted 350 years ago, this lane of Beech trees is most definitely a sight not to be missed.
A dream location for amateur and professional photographers alike. Not to mention a nice little break to stretch the legs as you stroll from one end of the lane to the other.A picture here or a tweet about the twigs will surely get a few likes.

Giants Causeway
This must-see World Heritage Site is Northern Ireland's most popular visitor attraction, and for good reason. Magnificent seascape and of course the awe-inspiring hexagonal/polygonal stone columns that form the legendary Causeway itself, some of which reach 40 feet (12 meters) into the air. The Giant’s Causeway was declared a World Heritage Site in 1986. Some of the structures, having been subject to several million years of weathering, resemble objects, such as the Organ and Giant's Boot structures. Follow the trail down and see if you can spot them for yourself.

Dunluce Castle
An iconic castle ruins located on the edge of a basalt outcropping on the Antrim coast.A torrent history and inspiration for many stories.A well worth photo visit here will surely not be missed.

Bushmills Distillery
One of the oldest licensed whiskey distilleries in the world and known for producing some of the finest in the world. We will stop here for a whiskey tasting to be remembered (over 18's only), In-store is a special treat of some of the best whiskeys they produce.

Belfast City
Home to two of the largest dry docks in Europe and the Birthplace of the Titanic ship, there really is something for everyone in Belfast. Once rated as one of the most dangerous cities in the world during the Troubles, Belfast today is a totally different place and you can enjoy some remarkable architecture and some of the best shopping around. Or just have a pint in one of the ancient pubs and give your two pence worth on the long-standing debate of which pub is the oldest in the city.
