I love a drive along the spectacular Antrim Coast Road up towards the Glens of Antrim. This is the best way to go because the scenery gets more interesting as you proceed northwards. The construction of the road is a masterpiece as it skirts high cliffs and, at the tunnel, there is a seemingly impassable outcrop of hard rock that runs down to the sea, so the only answer was to tunnel through it, creating the iconic Black Arch.

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.

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.

I visited Gracehill with my family and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. A guided tour showed us the beautiful preserved village . We were told many interesting stories of the lives of those who had lived there , and visited God's Acre where family members from generations before had been buried. I definitely recommend a visit.

Worth the detour from the coast road, up a narrow mountain road to see this striking statue and admire the view from a height. #Ample safe parking and good steps up to statue.

At the risk of making this secret no longer secret, you should know there is a hidden cave on the east side of Portcoon Jetty, called Portcoon Cave, and it is utterly awesome. A true highlight of our trip to Northern Ireland. Google it and see that I'm not making this place up. Take the marked trail to the west of the Giant's Causeway hotel toward Portcoon Jetty, and take the grassy path down to the jetty (the giant wooden pillar sticking out of the rocks into the water). It looks like there is a crack in the cliff to the left-side, but don't be deceived. The cave is on the right-side (east). Scramble over the rocks and the small hill and you'll find a wide, dark cave opening. Explore inside, and you'll find the cave opens up into a deeper passage with a view of the roaring sea in front of you. Beautiful. Awesome. And made even better that we were the only ones around. Not even the staff at the Giant's Causeway visitors center knew of this place. We recommend bringing headlamps/flashlights and good shoes/boots with traction to help you not trip over the slippery rocks. We went at low tide, which is best for cave exploring. If you like adventuring and exploring, you must visit this place.

This is a nice gentle stroll and the path is level and even. I would not want to do it on a windy day as there aren’t any barriers and you do walk near the edge. With wild flowers, rugged rocks and the sea it’s a lovely place to ponder and daydream
