Begin your excursion in the quaint coastal town of Ballycastle, where the gentle chug of fishing boats and the crisp aroma of saltwater immerse you in a maritime atmosphere, then follow winding roads framed by blooming gorse and rugged outcrops to reach the renowned Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, suspended high above tumultuous waves and offering sweeping views of the Atlantic’s restless horizon.
Continuing westward, arrive in Ballintoy, a village of colorful cottages and a petite harbor nestled against cliffs battered by the frothy sea—an idyllic spot to indulge in homemade seafood chowder and fresh soda bread.
