\nSee\nthe Sights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northern\nIreland has the most stunning scenery with rolling hills, mountains,\nlough\u2019s, castles and buildings oozing with history and atmosphere.\nTo give you a taste, we can recommend the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armagh,\nNorthern Ireland\u2019s smallest city where you can take a short stroll\nto Navan Fort and gaze upon the spectacular views of Saint Patrick\u2019s\nCity, with the spires of the two cathedrals standing proudly above\nthe skyline. Then there are the golden sands of Whiterock\u2019s Beach\nin Portrush, where you will be rewarded with a view of the striking\nwhite chalk cliffs, sea stacks and a chalk arch. From here you can\nalso catch a glimpse of the haunting ruin of Dunluce Castle looming\non a cliff edge in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou\u2019re looking for a great view of Northern Ireland\u2019s capital\ncity, Belfast you need to head to Cave Hill to the basaltic outcrop\nknown as \u2018Napoleon\u2019s Nose\u2019 that makes the hill easily\nrecognisable. From the summit, you can enjoy sweeping views over the\ncity, all the way to the Mourne Mountains, and on a clear day, the\nIsle of Man and the Mull of Galloway in Scotland are also visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nonly inhabited offshore island in Northern Ireland, Rathlin sits just\nsix miles from the mainland and a short ferry trip from Ballycastle.\nWalk from the harbour to the RSPB Bird Sanctuary to marvel at the\nthousands of fulmars, razorbills, guillemots, kittiwakes and puffins\nin residence on the nearby cliffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThen\nthere is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland, the\nGiant\u2019s Causeway on the North Antrim Coast, which lies at the foot\nof the basalt cliffs along the sea coast on the edge of the Antrim\nplateau. It is made up of some 40,000 massive black basalt columns\nsticking out of the sea. The dramatic sight has inspired legends of\ngiants striding over the sea to Scotland. It continues to draw\nthousands of visitors year-round. For the best views take a bracing\nwalk along the Red Trail on the cliffs above the Causeway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game\nof Thrones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
