Causeway Coastal Route

Causeway Coastal Route is a 120-mile route that stretches along the coast of Northern Ireland. Beginning in Belfast, it travels counterclockwise down the Antrim Coast until arriving at Londonderry. The route takes you along the stunning Antrim Coast, past picturesque villages, rugged cliffs, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Giant's Causeway.

The Giant's Causeway, which has a massive collection of six-sided basalt columns that are 60 million years old and protrude into the water, is the most impressive sight along the trip. Crossing the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge is also an exhilarating experience as it hangs 30 meters over the water. The glorious Gobbins Cliff Path and the Waterfall Walkway in Glenariff Forest Park are top places to see for nature lovers.

There are several ways to take a road trip along the Causeway Route. The easiest way to explore it is by driving in a car. You can rent a car from Belfast or Derry/Londonderry and follow the A2 road along the coast. The route is well-signposted and there are plenty of places to stop and take in the scenery along the way. Or you may try public transport thereby taking the Translink bus that runs from Belfast to the Causeway, with stops at popular attractions like Giant's Causeway and Carrrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. You can also take a train and then connect to a local bus service.

No matter how you choose to discover the Causeway Coastal Route, be sure to take your time and enjoy the stunning scenery and attractions along the way.
