• Dunluce Castle - Perched on a basalt outcrop along the north coast of Antrim, this castle was once the stronghold of Clan MacDonnell, serving as a medieval fortress against invaders from both land and sea. Constructed in the 13th century, it has witnessed significant moments in Irish history, with influences from Viking, Christian, and British eras. Visitors can marvel at its rugged beauty set against the Northern Atlantic Ocean, where the castle stands watch. The site is rich with eerie tales of crumbling walls and ghostly apparitions. Recently, it featured in the Game of Thrones TV series as the great Pyke, the seat of House Greyjoy. Dunluce also inspired C.S. Lewis’s descriptions of Cair Paravel in Narnia and appeared in Jackie Chan’s movie ‘The Medallion.’ It might be the first stop of the day, but it could be the most memorable one!

• Giant’s Causeway - Discover the heart of Ireland’s ancient mythological landscape at the otherworldly Giant’s Causeway. Stroll among the towering columns of what was once an epic bridge to Scotland, said to be built by the legendary Finn McCool to confront a fierce Scottish giant. While some claim that ‘Nature doesn’t work in straight lines,’ they haven’t seen the Giant’s Causeway. This area boasts over 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, mostly hexagonal, with up to eight sides. This breathtaking landscape appears to be crafted by giants but is entirely natural, formed by the slow cooling of lava millions of years ago. Recognized as one of the top 100 geological heritage sites globally, it is a must-see for everyone.

• The Dark Hedges - As the third stop of the day, The Dark Hedges attracts visitors from around the world. Known as one of Ireland’s most iconic roads, this avenue leads to Gracehill House, built around 1775. James Stuart, who constructed the house, also created the road and planted the beech trees that now form an atmospheric tunnel with creaking branches and dappled light. The Dark Hedges are said to be haunted by a mysterious ghost known as The Grey Lady. Made famous by their appearance in Game of Thrones as the King’s Road, they also featured in the 2017 movie Transformers: The Last Knight. Whether it’s Autobots, ghosts, King Robert Baratheon, or simply a stroll down this enchanting avenue, The Dark Hedges offer something for everyone.

• Titanic Distillers At Thompson Dock - Situated beside the vast dry dock that once housed the Titanic Ocean Liner, this distillery is Belfast’s first whiskey distillery to open since prohibition. The history of Thompson Dock, where the distillery is located, is shared during the whiskey tour, transitioning from ships to whiskey. Guests will learn about whiskey-making in Ireland and why this distillery is the first operational one in Belfast in over 90 years. Titanic Whiskey is a new brand, but visitors will create lasting memories as they explore the distillation process and enjoy a tasting experience that leaves them rosy-cheeked and eager for more. This award-winning distillery is here to stay, so be among those who can say, ‘I was there, I tried Titanic Whiskey, and I didn’t sink!’
