This was another magical place to see in Northern Ireland. This is not somewhere you would stay for a long, unless you are a Game of Thrones fan. Some of the scenes were filmed here. The coast line is lovely. There is also a very interesting rock hill with two entrances. One ended abruptly when we walked in. I followed the other in for a short distance until a small streamed stopped my progress. read more

GoT Location - but much more than that! Be sure to visit this place if you are anywhere near it. Of course, since GoT this place has gotten hugely popular. But even if you are not familiar with GoT you definitely have to see this place and its surrounding area. A small road leads you down to a parking lot right next to the harbour. A parking lot which is way too small for all the visitors. We managed to get a spot quickly anyways. Parking is free. If you don't want to take a chance, then there are some spotsjust before the village, all you need to do then is to walk down. The harbour itself is already nice and very picturesque. In the series it's the Iron Islands, where Theon comes home. There is even a plate with some information about it at the harbour. There's a small restaurant too, which was very busy. I believe they are happy that this place became so popular. The day we went - it was a sunday - there were some fishermen with their boats at the harbour. A great chance to buy some freshly caught fish for little money. We bought five fish....all it cost was 3£!! The landscape is very fascinating with interesting rock formations. But most visitors just check out the harbour, take pics and leave. Be sure to spend more time here. Just to the west there is a small cave. And a bit further a trail starts along the shore which goes on for miles. It's a fantastic walk with great views. Every step here in this amazing landscape is worth seeing and worth checking out. There are surprisingly few visitors. A good chance too to let your dog run free. Ours loved it! It's a very atmsopheric landscape full of character. We enjoyed it a lot....a lot more than the Causeway. It's still an almost untouched piece of nature. It's easy to see why the filmmakers chose this place. Definitely one of the must-sees in Northern Ireland! Wanna know more about me and my trips? Check my profile. read more

Not far from the Giant's Causeway is this little part of Northern Ireland. It's incredibly quiet here. The views are also quite interesting. Worth a stop if you have time, but not necessary if you're just touring for the "highlights." read more
