The Giant's Causeway is about 20 minutes' drive from the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. There is a shuttle bus at the visitor center. You can buy a round-trip ticket for one pound and take the shuttle bus directly to the starting point of the Giant's Causeway. If you walk there, it will take about 20 to 30 minutes. The Giant's Causeway is located in the northernmost part of Northern Ireland. This world-famous causeway is very spectacular because it is densely covered with giant stone pillars of various shapes. These stone pillars are hexagonal in cross-section, which makes people marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature.
absolutely crazy basalt columns! the site is so unique you cant find anything like this anywhere else

If you come to Northern Ireland, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is an attraction you cannot miss. The bridge is located on a cliff nearly 30 meters high. The more than 10-meter-long rope bridge connects the island of Ireland and the opposite Rocky Island. This is a rope bridge. In order to ensure the safety of tourists, the bridge can only be driven in one direction. On this side of the bridge, we can only wait for the tourists on the opposite side of the bridge to come over before we can cross. And if the weather is bad, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge may be temporarily closed. Arrive at the opposite side of the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, walk forward, go over a small hill, and you will come to the cliff by the sea. The wind here is a bit strong, but the scenery is very beautiful. There is a small restaurant near the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge Visitor Center, where you can choose to have lunch.
The rope bridge connects to a small island with beautiful surrounding scenery. You can see the scenery of Leslin Island and Scotland. The huge underground caves are also clearly visible. These caves were once a natural barrier used by shipbuilders to avoid storms.

Located in the northwest corner of Northern Ireland, it is a country road on a private farm. It is famous for being the location for the popular American TV series "Game of Thrones". I went there after signing up for a one-day tour recommended by Ctrip in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.
Because "Game of Thrones" was filmed here, it became famous and became a pilgrimage site for fans of the game, and thus became a popular tourist attraction. In fact, it is a boulevard formed by strange big trees, and the sloping grass and cows on both sides are a nice sight.

On one side of the way to the cable bridge and the Giant Road, the newspaper's tour group had a blue coastline, and sometimes Scotland could be seen even across the island. The whole coastline is also very rugged, countless turning points can see the direct cliff cliff, there is a sense of falling at any time, and some sections of the road or even next to the railway, maybe the feeling of riding a train near the sea and cliff will be more exciting.
The unique landscape along the coast is so beautiful and nice to look at. This is the characteristic of the canyon.

Dunluce Castle is a now-ruined medieval castle in Northern Ireland, the seat of Clan McDonnell. It is located on the edge of a basalt outcrop in County Antrim and is accessible via a bridge that connects it to the mainland. The castle is flanked on either side by steep cliffs, which was an important factor for early Christians and Vikings, who were attracted to the site where there had been earlier Irish fortresses. The first castle was built in the 13th century at Dunluce, which was the seat of the Earls of Antrim until they were impoverished by the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Since then, the castle has deteriorated and parts of it have been used as material for nearby buildings.
This castle has a history of more than 400 years. It is located in the Antrim district of Northern Ireland and is one of the famous castles in the UK. The castle was built on a cliff by the sea and is obviously an ancient military fortress. Although it is now in ruins, it is not difficult to imagine that it was a solid fortress guarding the coastal defense line at that time and must have important military significance.
