Causeway+Coastal+Route

=CAUSEWAY COASTAL DRIVE – Derry – Belfast= We spent the entire day travelling the Causeway Coastal Route and exploring its many wonderful sights and locations. Beautiful rock formations, wild beaches, ancient castle ruins and of course, the Giant’s Causeway, make this one of the great drives anywhere. The walk across the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge was also a highlight – originally build by salmon fishermen to get to the island it is now a huge tourist attraction.
