The Bank House

Reviewed By ChrisHuntingdon - Belfast, United Kingdom

I am fussy about my “flat white” coffees (first tried in Brisbane 20 years ago alongside their “long black” coffees). Bank House has it nailed. Most places have no idea how to make them and give you a cappuccino with less milk... Missed this place during “lockdown”. Also has a great deli (try the chicken liver parfait with pink peppercorns...) and a classy gift shop with some unique local craft items. Did I mention the paintings of local artists for sale? Relax here after your Blackhead path walk!

Giant's Causeway

Northern Ireland's most popular tourist destination: this large stretch of staircase-shaped rocks is the result of cooled lava from volcanic eruptions that took place over 65 million years ago.

Reviewed By Orrix55

A one kilometer walk or bus ride (£1 each way for the bus - free for walking) gets you to this fascinating attraction created by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. There is a very entertaining audio guide that provides information on the various features on the landscape, such as the camel and organ pipes etc. The walk down could be a bit challenging, the road and path down is quite steep so I would suggest the bus for those with any problems. We walked down and took the bus back. Make time to visit the visitors centre at the end, it has something for everyone, especially children, coffee, drinks and food available.

Island Arts Centre

Reviewed By OrangeLisburn - Lisburn, United Kingdom

Situated on Lagan Valey Island, adjoining Lisburn Civic Centre - The Island Arts Centre is a fantastic facility - serving the population of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council. It publishes brochures every three months or so and caters for conferences, theatre, concerts, exhibitions, film screenings, pantomimes, courses, workshops and "the Arts". Site tours for large and small groups can be arranged but must be booked in advance. It is only a short distance from the M1 Motorway and has 300 free parking places. Train and bus stations are within walking distance. The Civic Centre no longer has a restaurant but can cater for banquets and weddings and has an on-site coffee shop. It has good facilities for those with mobility problems - and has free wi-fi. Prices, and "pensioner/children concessions" vary, depending on the activity. I enjoyed a tour around the Centre this morning - and was particularly impressed by the tiered theatres. Highly recommended. (Box Office T/N 028 9244 7744). Web. ISLANDArtsCentre.com

Gracehill Village

Reviewed By rosemaryh610 - Belfast, United Kingdom

I visited Gracehill with my family and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. A guided tour showed us the beautiful preserved village . We were told many interesting stories of the lives of those who had lived there , and visited God's Acre where family members from generations before had been buried. I definitely recommend a visit.
