Complete travel guide to Northern Ireland. Handpicked places including waterfalls, mountain roads, thermal springs, UNESCO sites, scenic drives and hidden gems. All with GPS coordinates.
The wind pulls at your jacket 30 metres above the Atlantic. Beneath your feet: a rope bridge of planks swinging between the mainland and a tiny fisherman's island. The Antrim coast rises on all sides in green and basalt. You reach the island. And then you have to walk back.
GPS: 55.2396, -6.3325
Darkness swallows you. The water beneath the boat is black and smooth as oil, the ceiling so low you instinctively duck. Then the chamber opens — stalactites like organ pipes, 340 million years old, lit in blue and gold. Marble Arch Caves are Northern Ireland's wildest underground adventure.
GPS: 54.2585, -7.8132
Hexagonal columns. Thousands of them. Stacked like a giant staircase into the Atlantic — perfectly geometric, as if cut with a diamond saw. 60 million years ago volcanoes spewed molten basalt, and as it cooled it cracked into hexagons. The Irish say the giant Finn McCool built them as a bridge to Scotland.
GPS: 55.2408, -6.5117
The branches cross above your head like Gothic vaults. Light seeps through in stripes, and the gnarled trunks twist as if trying to reach each other. 150 beech trees, planted in 1775, have grown together into the most photographed avenue in Ireland. In fog it looks like a portal to another world.
GPS: 55.1349, -6.3812
The walls hang over the edge. Thirty metres straight down, the Atlantic hammers the cliff in white foam. In 1639 the kitchen fell into the sea — during dinner. What remains is a medieval castle that refuses to give up, balancing on the edge of Northern Ireland's most dramatic cliff.
GPS: 55.2110, -6.5795
A small round temple clings to the edge of a cliff that drops 120 metres straight into the Atlantic. The cliff erodes each year, and the temple inches closer to the edge. It was built in 1785 by an eccentric bishop as a library for his cousin — and should long since have tumbled into the sea. Yet it still stands.
GPS: 55.1677, -6.8110
The water falls in two white veils into a gorge covered in moss and ferns so green it almost hurts your eyes. The air is damp and cool, and the sound fills the entire valley. Glenariff is the widest and greenest of Antrim's nine glens — and the Waterfall Walk through the gorge is pure magic.
GPS: 55.0195, -6.1241
Gothic stone bridges over a rushing river. Sequoia trees soaring 40 metres. Moss covering everything like a green carpet. Tollymore is the forest fairytales forgot to tell — and this is where Game of Thrones found its Haunted Forest. No one is surprised.
GPS: 54.2189, -5.9490
Twelve granite peaks above 600 metres, rounded and bare, with a 35 km dry-stone wall crawling over the ridges like the spine of some enormous beast. C.S. Lewis said Narnia was inspired by the view from here. Stand on Slieve Donard and look across the Mournes, and you understand him.
GPS: 54.1391, -6.0664
Subtropical palms alongside Irish oaks. Topiary figures shaped like dodo birds and dinosaurs. A lake with an island shaped like Ireland. Mount Stewart is a garden created by a woman who refused to accept Northern Ireland's climate — and won.
GPS: 54.5516, -5.6019
The dome rises 53 metres above Donegall Square. Inside: polished Italian marble, stained glass windows and a staircase that makes you feel like a Victorian mayor. Belfast City Hall was built in 1906 as a monument to the city's industrial might — and it still radiates confidence in every stone.
GPS: 54.5964, -5.9295
The building is shaped like four ship prows in silver aluminium — as tall as Titanic herself. You stand on the exact spot where the ship was built, on the exact slipway where 15,000 men worked. Belfast built Titanic, and Belfast has never forgotten. This museum is the city's way of telling the whole story.
GPS: 54.6081, -5.9098
You walk on top of a 400-year-old wall, 1.5 km all the way round the old town, with cannons aimed at the enemy who never broke through. Derry is the only city in all of Ireland with fully intact city walls — and you can walk the entire circuit with history beneath your feet.
GPS: 54.9979, -7.3213
The cannons point out to sea. The walls are three metres thick. And the castle has stood here by Belfast Lough for 850 years — besieged by Scots, French, Irish and Americans, but never torn down. Carrickfergus is Northern Ireland's best-preserved Norman castle, and it still feels battle-ready.
GPS: 54.7134, -5.8065
The ferry from Ballycastle takes 25 minutes. When you step ashore, the world shrinks. 150 permanent residents, no traffic lights, no stress. And on the western cliffs thousands of puffins, razorbills and gannets scream in a chaos of feathers and fish. Rathlin Island is Northern Ireland's only inhabited island — and it feels like a place where time forgot to move.
GPS: 55.2858, -6.1829
The edge comes suddenly. One moment you're walking across heather moorland, the next you're looking 196 metres straight down into the Atlantic. Fair Head is a basalt wall that drops like a curtain from sky to sea — Northern Ireland's highest cliff and one of the most dramatic in all of Europe.
GPS: 55.2237, -6.1568
The road down is a gravel track that switchbacks along the cliff. No signs, no facilities, no other people. At the bottom: a bay with green grass running to the edge, black cliffs and the Atlantic in every shade of blue. Murlough Bay is Northern Ireland's best-kept secret.
GPS: 55.2109, -6.1117
The silence is total. Not a sound except the wind across the water. The reservoir lies hidden deep in the Mourne Mountains like a secret — peaks on all sides, the famous Mourne Wall crawling over the ridges around it, and the water so still it doubles the sky.
GPS: 54.1420, -6.0029
Red light. Red stone. 400-million-year-old sandstone carved by waves into caves you can only reach at low tide. The water has worked for millions of years to create these chambers, and in Game of Thrones Melisandre gave birth to her shadow creature inside. It is just as eerie in reality.
GPS: 55.1243, -6.0372
The front is classical Palladian. Walk round the corner. The back is Gothic. Same house, two wildly different styles — because Lord and Lady Ward in the 1760s could not agree. They split the house down the middle. It is the most honest country house in Ireland.
GPS: 54.3714, -5.5887
You start at the beach. Literally. From sea level in Newcastle the trail climbs along the Glen River through granite boulders, and 850 metres up the world stops. From the summit of Slieve Donard — Northern Ireland's highest point — you can see the Isle of Man, Scotland, Wales and the mountains of the Irish Republic. Four jurisdictions in one panorama.
GPS: 54.1802, -5.9210
Three kilometres of golden sand with dunes rising like a wall against the wind. You can drive right onto the beach — and many do. Behind the dunes a cliff walk leads towards Portrush, and the sea is surprisingly swim-friendly on good days. Portstewart Strand is Northern Ireland's most beloved beach.
GPS: 55.1675, -6.7307
The water is still as a lake, but it's the Atlantic. 150 km² of sea inlet surrounded by drumlins — rounded hills left by the ice — with seals on the sandbanks and 2,000 years of Viking traces on the shores. Strangford Lough is Northern Ireland's largest natural harbour, and the tide rushes through the narrow mouth at 8 knots.
GPS: 54.4491, -5.5761
Walkways bolted into the cliff face. Tunnels cut through the basalt. Bridges spanning chasms with the sea 30 metres below your feet. The Gobbins is a cliff path built in 1902 by a railway engineer who believed tourists would love walking along a vertical cliff. He was right.
GPS: 54.7814, -5.6985
The road clings to the cliff with the Atlantic beneath you and green hills above. 120 km from Belfast to Derry along Northern Ireland's Antrim coast — past Giant's Causeway, Dark Hedges, Dunluce Castle and a dozen bays with turquoise water. One of Europe's finest coastal stretches, and you're behind the wheel.
GPS: 55.2287, -6.5241
Ruins on a white limestone headland jutting into the sea like a skeletal finger. Over 100 steep steps down, no entrance fee, no opening hours — just you and the Atlantic. One of the Antrim coast's most raw and unvisited spots.
GPS: 55.2294, -6.2913
A 9.5 km boardwalk climbing a bare mountainside — the ’Stairway to Heaven’. The wooden planks literally vanish into the clouds. Cuilcagh Mountain Park, UNESCO Global Geopark. Northern Ireland's most spectacular hill walk.
GPS: 54.2155, -7.8242
Seven stone circles from the Bronze Age in the heart of the Sperrin Mountains. Buried under peat for 4,000 years, uncovered in 1945. A designated dark-sky site — the Milky Way arches directly over the stones.
GPS: 54.7014, -6.9392
A tiny harbour wedged between black basalt shelves and white limestone cliffs. The Iron Islands in Game of Thrones. One of Northern Ireland's most photogenic spots — and almost always empty.
GPS: 55.2439, -6.3695
The Vanishing Lake — a lake that drains entirely through the limestone beneath it. The road runs straight across the lakebed. Some days a lake, other days a dry meadow. Antrim Plateau, Northern Ireland.
GPS: 55.1570, -6.1083
The grass is green and the mound is round — but beneath the surface lie 3,000 years of Irish power. Emain Macha was the seat of the Ulster kings, where Cú Chulainn trained and druids read the stars. In 94 BC they built a massive oak structure 40 metres across, ritually burned it and buried it underground. The mound still stands.
GPS: 54.3485, -6.6982
Eleven kilometres of sand in one unbroken line. Benone Strand stretches from Castlerock to Magilligan Point where Northern Ireland's north coast meets Lough Foyle. The wind is constant, the sand flat and hard enough to drive on. Behind the dunes: a Blue Flag bathing area. From the dune tops you look across to Donegal.
GPS: 55.1808, -6.9293
A 12th-century round tower rises above the treetops on an island in Lower Lough Erne. Devenish Island has been sacred ground since Saint Molaise founded a monastery here in the 6th century. The Vikings burned it in 837. The monks rebuilt. The tower still stands 25 metres tall, gazing over 154 islands.
GPS: 54.3518, -7.6894
A Georgian mansion in Fermanagh's soft green hills. Florence Court was built by the Cole family in the 1750s with a facade so symmetrical it looks drawn. Behind the house the parkland stretches into ancient forest with waterside paths and ferns. In the garden stands Ireland's most famous tree — an Irish yew from 1767, mother of nearly every Irish yew on Earth.
GPS: 54.2634, -7.7302
A tower of dark basalt rises 41 metres above Scrabo Hill, 165 metres above the sea. Built in 1857 as a monument to the third Marquess of Londonderry, it is the view people come for: all of Strangford Lough, the Ards Peninsula, Belfast Lough and on clear days the Scottish coast. 122 steps up the spiral staircase. No lift, no excuses.
GPS: 54.5801, -5.7155
