SHORT BREAK IN THE "ANTRIM COAST AND GLENS"

Why not come along and join us for a weekend on a trip to the Causeway Coast and Glens of Co. Antrim. Our weekend takes you on a journey through a landscape that is breathtakingly beautiful; through mysterious and mystical glens and along one of the most dramatic coastlines in Europe; the Causeway Coast. A journey of discovery that will relax both body and soul. It's a journey in life that is not to be missed.

Day 1 Depart Wicklow for Antrim  
Pick up in Dublin at 11:00 hrs at a location to be decided. We can also pick you up anywhere on route to Antrim. On the way to our accommodation for the weekend, which is in the small village of Ballintoy, we will make several stops for coffee breaks, lunch etc.

Day 2 Giants Causeway & Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge   
After breakfast we take a short drive from our accommodation to visit the world heritage site of the Giant’s Causeway, with its 40.000 hexagonal basalt columns. After taken some time to explore the Causeway our journey takes us east along the coastline, which offers beautiful ocean views to lush green pastures. The ruins of Dunseverick Castle, St. Gobban’s Church and the beautiful Ballintoy Harbour. At the end of the day you will have a change to cross the famous Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. Please note this is entirely optional.
Distance: 18 km/11.25 miles, Ascent: 200 m/ 600 ft

Day 3 “Queen of the Glens”
We will leave our accommodation early to do a drive along the coast to Torr Head and Fair Head down to Cushendun for lunch. After lunch we visit Glenariff Forest Park better known as the “Queen of the Glenn’s”.
This is probably the most spectacular trail you are going to find in the glens.
The Glenariff Forest Park is covering an area of 1185 ha of which 900 ha have been planted with trees. The remainder consists of several small lakes, recreation areas, spectacular trails and open spaces. Our walk takes us through the forest, onto open mountainside, where it offers panoramic views down the glen to the coast and beyond. Crossing the Inver and Glenariff River, we are taking in the famous Glenariff Waterfall’s on our way back.
Distance: 10,5 km/6 miles, Ascent 240 m/720 ft

Depart Antrim to arrive in Dublin at approximately 22:00 hrs
