• Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge - Established in 1755, the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge has a rich history of nearly 265 years. Originally, it featured just a single handrail and sporadic wooden slats, making it quite unsafe and thrilling for adventurers. Today, the bridge has been significantly improved to ensure safety while maintaining the excitement of crossing. Situated along the North Antrim Coast, it spans approximately 100 feet above the Atlantic Ocean’s hollow waters.

The bridge is often seen as daring and appealing to thrill-seekers due to its tendency to sway in the wind and the view from above. It’s a fantastic stop and a highlight of the North Antrim Coast on the Giants Causeway Tour.

Please Note - Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge has reopened and now accepts time-slot bookings. Assistance with booking a time-slot for crossing will be provided after booking the tour.

The hexagonal rock formations, including ‘The Wishing Chair,’ ‘The Camel,’ ‘The Giant’s Foot,’ and the Cliff-Top Path, can be explored during the visit.

• Dunseverick Castle - History of Dunseverick Castle

Recorded in the Irish Annals as Dun Sobhairce, Dunseverick Castle was first fortified by the ancient chieftain Sobhairce around the 5th century AD, possibly earlier. From the 7th century AD, it was occupied by the Dál Riada, a tribal group with maritime connections between northeast Ireland and western Scotland. It later became a center for the Earls of Ulster around 1250–1350 AD and a stronghold for the O’Cahan’s and later the MacDonnells from 1560 AD.

Saint Patrick and Dunseverick

Legend has it that Saint Patrick visited Dunseverick Castle, where he baptized Olcán, a local man who became a Bishop of Ireland. The northern area of the site features an oval depression of wet ground, believed to be a holy well, known as St Patrick’s Well.

• White Park Bay - The breathtaking, sweeping sandy beach of White Park Bay is located in the quaint village of Ballintoy, County Antrim. This stunning beach forms a white arc between two headlands on the North Antrim Coast.

Its secluded location ensures ample space for peaceful relaxation, even on busy days. The beach is backed by ancient sand dunes, providing diverse habitats for bird and animal life.

The landscape around the bay was shaped between 200 million and 50 million years ago.
