Excursions
Belfast Guided Tour
A guide will join us on the coach to bring to life the rich history of the city. We will pass the main sights such as the Crumlin Road Jail (one of Irelands most haunted locations ) HMS Caroline, St George’s Market, Ulster Museum, the iconic Titanic Museum , City Halls, Peace Walls and Stormont.
Antrim Coast & Giant’s Causeway
Take a scenic drive along the Antrim Coast Road passing through the spectacular scenery centred around The Glens of Antrim. Follow the coast road, through Larne, Carnlough, Cushendall and onto the National Trust village of Cushendun. A highlight today is entry to the mighty Giant’s Causeway, created by volcanic activity. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Giant’s Causeway is a magnificent, mysterious geological formation on the North East coast of Co Antrim steeped in myth and legend.
Coleraine to Derry/Londonderry Railway
Travel writer, actor and explorer, Michael Palin once described the train ride between Derry/Londonderry and Coleraine as “one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the world”. Before boarding the train in Derry/Londonderry, you can meander through the bustling compact streets of the last remaining completely walled city in Ireland and listen to the echoes of almost fifteen centuries of history. Your train journey follows the River Foyle out of the city and heads into the lush green countryside before arriving at the golden sands of Benone Strand. The railway track runs alongside the sand, so you have spectacular views of one of the most unspoilt beaches in Ireland.
