Enjoy this wonderful journey along the Antrim coast and beautiful mid-ulster countryside, where history, Folklore and legends come to life. Famous for it's many castles, clans and culture like Carrickfergus built in 1177 by the Normans or Glenarm & Dunluce, home to the Mc Donnell clan who fought in many battles including against Elizabeth 1.

You will experience Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, which you can cross at your peril or simply relax and take in the breath-taking views of the Irish & Scottish coasts and the far reaching views across the North Atlantic ocean, where the Vikings once plundered. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Giants Causeway, which really has to be seen to be believed, 40 000 volcanic columns over 60 million years old built by the famous Giant Finn Mc Cool & destroyed by his Scottish rival Benandonna, apparently! You will discover the ruins of Dunluce castle before tasting an Irish whiskey at the world's oldest distillery, Bushmills.

For Game of Throne fans, you can climb the steps of Braavos where Arya stark climbs out of the water after fighting with the waif (season 6). Stand in the caves where the red witch Melisandre, gives birth to a shadow demon which assassinates Renly Baratheon (season 2). Walk across the rope bridge where Balon Greyjoy meets his death when his brother Euron throws him off (season 6). Stand in the camp where Brienne of tarth beats Loras Tyrell in a battle.
Visit the Iron Islands, home of the Greyjoys and finally the iconic Dark Hedges otherwise known as the King's road, where Arya Stark sets of on her journey as a boy in season 1.
