Best Things to Do
in Causeway Coast and Glens
Of all the things to do in Northern Ireland, the Causeway Coast region is home to some of the most iconic. As Ireland and Northern Ireland tour specialists, Ireland Wild Escapes offers tours to all of the major Causeway Coast sights. These include, but are not limited to:
- The Giant’s Causeway needs little introduction. The emblematic UNESCO World Heritage Site, a completely natural phenomenon that boasts over 40,000 interlocking geometric columns, was formed between 50 and 60 million years ago. According to local legend, however, the curious causeway is the result of the battle between Finn McCool and Scottish giant, Benandonner.
- Another Causeway Coast experience for your Northern Ireland bucket list, is the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge. First erected by salmon fishermen over 250 years ago, crossing the precariously perched rope bridge from the mainland across to the island of Carrickarede is one of the most exhilarating activities on the Causeway Coast.
- We also highly recommend a visit to the mystical Dark Hedges, made famous by their appearance in Game of Thrones, a Causeway Coast must.
