Point 1: Dublin to Belfast

Departing Dublin at 8.30am, we begin our discoveries with a visit to the vast Neolithic necropolis at Bru na Boyne and visit one of the tombs. We continue northward to cross over the border into Northern Ireland, visiting Ireland’s finest Celtic crosses at Monasterboice ancient monastic site en route. In the afternoon, you have the choice to walk or cycle the historic Lagan Canal Towpath, which takes us into Belfast. We end the day discovering the intrigue of Belfast on a city tour which includes the Falls and Shankhill Murals, The Titanic Quarter and Dockyards, City Hall, The Grand Opera House and The Crown Liquor Saloon.

Point 2: Belfast to Inishowen Peninsula

Today we set out to explore the Antrim coastline, dotted with glacier valleys known as the Glens of Antrim. Fondly described as the ‘Queen of the Glens’, we stop in Glenariff Forest Park, where we take in a scenic walk to the cascading Ess-na-Larach Waterfall. Further along the coast, you can test your head for heights on Carrrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge, where we cross the 30 metre chasm between the sea cliffs and the island of Carrick-a-Rede itself. In the afternoon, we head on to enjoy Ulster’s jewel: The Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, the walk from Dunseverick Castle along the Causeway Coast, into the Giants Causeway, is nothing short of spectacular. We end our day with a short ferry ride across Lough Foyle, to the Spectacular Inishowen Peninsula, where you have the option to cycle to our hotel.

Point 3: Inishowen Peninsula to Dublin

Morning sees us exploring Inishowen, one of Ireland’s most rugged corners, with opportunities for cycling or walking on Malin Headland. Alternatively, you can opt to take a horse ride along the beach! We arrive in Derry (Londonderry) for lunch, nicknamed the ‘Maiden City’ because her walls have never been breached by an invader. In the afternoon, we take a guided tour of the historic city walls and the Bogside area, before enjoying free time in Derry for Sunday lunch. We finish our day with a drive back to Dublin, dropping at either Dublin airport or Dublin City.
