Carnlough Harbour

A picturesque fishing village and our first stop of the day, perfect for a short comfort break. Built in the nineteenth century, Carnlough Harbour still keeps an old-world charm - so much so that it featured in Game of Thrones, where its steps stood in for the city of Braavos.

Carrick A Rede Rope Bridge

One of the most visited places in Northern Ireland - a rope bridge suspended high above the sea, linking the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. Crossing is optional and requires a pre-booked ticket; if you prefer not to cross, there are stunning views from the cliff-top path. It is roughly a 1-mile walk from the car park, and crossings can occasionally close due to weather. Let us know in advance if you wish to cross and we will help arrange your ticket.
