Definitely one for the climbers this, as its known for being one of this part of Northern Ireland's steepest climbs, The vistas are well worth all the effort. You can see over to Scotland on a clear day, and the quiet narrow winding road that hugs the rugged coastline is really something quite special.

Beautiful little harbour located in the seaside village of Cushendun. The Mary McBrides across the road from here sells delicious food and real ales. There is also a cafรฉ and convenience store nearby where you can pick up some snacks and take a respite on the sandy shore nearby.

The caves near Cushendun Beach formed over hundreds of millions of years and became famous after appearing in the hit series Game of Thrones. And the fact that they are a stone's throw from the pretty little village of Cushendun makes them a great stopover

Quaint little coastal village, with a few good pubs and nice busy little harbour. There are much worse places to take a break.
