Discover it all in The Causeway Coast and Glens
The Causeway Coast and Glens region of Northern Ireland is rightly known for its spectacular scenery. If you love the outdoors, there are rugged coastal walks, secluded hiking trails and forest paths. There are designated places of Outstanding Natural Beauty, havens for butterflies, wildlife and rare birds; protected ancient landscapes and woodlands, carpeted with bluebells in spring.
If you’re interested in history and heritage you’ll find monuments, follies and ruins, megalithic stones and pilgrimage sites. Looking for activities? Try kayaking or take a cruise along a tidal estuary or quiet stretch of river – where if you’re lucky, you may even spot herons or otters.
There are plenty of opportunities for both game and coarse fishing, and if you want to explore on foot or two wheels there are cycling and walking trails just waiting for you. Horse-riding is always an option too!
There are beautiful places to rest your head from secluded cottages to camping and glamping and luxury hotels. The Causeway Coast and Glens is a Foodie Destination – officially! The rich agricultural land and the Atlantic Ocean produce the finest ingredients served up on our artisan cafes, bakeries, restaurants and bistros. And you can get up close and personal with the makers and even some hands on experience on your travels.
