Giant's Causeway

Northern Ireland's most popular tourist destination: this large stretch of staircase-shaped rocks is the result of cooled lava from volcanic eruptions that took place over 65 million years ago.

Reviewed By Orrix55

A one kilometer walk or bus ride (£1 each way for the bus - free for walking) gets you to this fascinating attraction created by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. There is a very entertaining audio guide that provides information on the various features on the landscape, such as the camel and organ pipes etc. The walk down could be a bit challenging, the road and path down is quite steep so I would suggest the bus for those with any problems. We walked down and took the bus back. Make time to visit the visitors centre at the end, it has something for everyone, especially children, coffee, drinks and food available.

Bushmills Distillery

Opened in 1608, this is the oldest licensed distillery in the world and exports its whiskey internationally.

Reviewed By matts23 - Brighton, United States

A tour of the Bushmills distillery was definitely called for when in the area! Overall, the tour was excellent...very informative, and went through the working area of the distillery. Unfortunately, this was during the distilleries' "down" time (approx. 2 weeks), when they perform maintenance and cleaning of most areas, so we didn't get to see any of the production going on. Fortunately, the staff at the visitor's center made it very clear that this was the case (as did their website) before you pay for the tour, so the expectations are clear. As a nice added touch, patrons were provided a small sampler bottle of Bushmills as consolation for not seeing the production. Despite not seeing production, our tour guide was fantastic, and the tour itself very informative. We thoroughly enjoyed this visit. The sample at the end of the tour was also very much appreciated!! In the "sample" bar, there are also options to purchase additional samples and drinks, so there's no rush to leave, and it's easy to pass some time, enjoying the beautiful tasting room. Underage patrons receive a free non-alcoholic beverage, which was appreciated. Of course, after the tasting room is the gift shop, including some limited edition whiskeys, so after the tasting room, it's easy to feel your wallet get lighter........ My only negative is that picutres during the tour were strictly prohibited; it would have been nice to capture some pictures of the grounds and buildings.

Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre

Important notice - In line with Northern Ireland Executive guidance, the Giant's Causeway Visitor Experience is currently closed. We look forward to welcoming you back when it is safe to do so

Reviewed By Emaysie - Western Australia, Australia

Would 100% recommend anyone the experience to come here! My sister and I are National Trust members, so we got to go into the visitor centre which has many cool exhibitions and a souvenir shop. If you buy a ticket, then you can come in here. It also included an audio guide which was very interesting. But you can see the landscape and rocks for free just by walking by the visitor centre. However parking does cost if you park at the visitor centre. You can walk along the road along the coast or also along the top of the cliffs. The landscape is amazing and a real must do!
