An unexpected pleasure to talk to the very well formed staff member and get some beautifully illustrated booklets and brochures about the local area. I am hoping to enlighten some friends in England as Tom the attractions of Northern Ireland!

My wife and I stumbled upon this shop on the far right side as you head toward the harbor. The items in the store, jewelry and art were done locally and were wonderful. We bought a nice little fairy house

Kinbane Castle

Great view from car park, it’s a long staircase down and a hard slog back to the car park. But worth it

Rathlin Island Ferry Ltd

Rathlin-Ballycastle Ferry Service. A perfect day out in Northern Ireland. A world away for a day! Rathlin Island is NI's only inhabited off shore island and is the perfect destination for adventure and great days out. 5 miles North of Ballycastle and 12 miles West of Scotland's Mull of Kintyre it is idyllic and an ideal destination on the Causeway Coast for a day away or overnight trip.
