Places to Visit

From wild walks, to the home of fabled giants and legendary pubs, here's a few of our favourite spots to visit. You'll find everything from great surf beaches, to forest adventures, as well as places to grab a bite to eat, or pick up unique souvenirs. If you head to Derry, be sure to get the train from Coleraine to experience "one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the world" (according to Michael Palin!) These aren't in any particular order, so read to the bottom to be sure you don't miss any!
