As well as the "must see" Giant's Causeway itself, local activities include;

Bushmills Cottages are located in Bushmills and provide the ideal location for exploring the stunning Antrim coast.

Places to visit:

The Giant's Causeway - the "eighth wonder of the world" with it's curious hexagonal basalt columns, awesome scenery, majestic cliffs, rocky inlets and enough myth, legend and history to fire your imagination.

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge - a wobbly walk across an eighty feet deep chasm! Once the route of fishermen, now mainly for tourists, but offering incredible coastal views.

The Old Bushmills Whiskey Distillery - legend has it that whiskey production has been going on here since the 15th century, but it's been legal since 1608! A tour is well worth while - as is a hot "Bush", to be enjoyed later with a hint of clove, a wee drizzle of honey, sipped by the warmth of an open, turf fire and of course, good company!

Dunluce Castle (pictured right) - dating from the 13th century, the ruins dominate the skyline above the white rocks of Portrush. There are legends galore and stories of shipwrecks and shenanigans throughout the centuries of the castle's occupancy.

White Rocks - the unique limestone cliffs that the years have whittled into a labyrinth of caves and arches. Home to many seabirds, the caves are accessible from the main coast road. A word of warning though, the beach has dangerous rip currents and venturing into the water is strongly discouraged.

There's also world-class golf in abundance, including the Royal Portrush links course (pictured left), for those who'll rise to the challenge! (Host of the 2008 Senior British Open.)

Add to that, coastal paths and long sandy beaches that demand to be walked as well as horse riding, swimming, cycling, sailing, surfing, diving and tennis close by, and of course, fine dining and cosy pubs right on your doorstep!
