County Antrim Northern Ireland

County Antrim and the Giant’s Causeway

County Antrim forms the north-east corner of Ireland, where a channel only 13 miles wide separates Torr Head from the Scottish coast. Lough Neagh (the largest lake in Ireland) and the fertile valley of the Bann occupy the western part of Antrim.

To the east, a magnificent coast runs north from Larne and curves around the base of steep headlands, through which the beautiful glens of Antrim open to the sea. On the northern coast the Giant's Causeway, a striking basalt rock formation, is truly awe-inspiring. It's close to the popular seaside resorts of Portrush and Portstewart. Why not explore this corner of Ireland by taking a rail tour?

Belfast, County Antrim

Despite Belfast's turbulent past, the recent ceasefire has transformed the principal city of County Antrim into something of a boomtown. With trendy cafes, bars and restaurants springing up everywhere, the 'birthplace of the Titanic' is fast becoming one of the best places to eat out and socialise in Ireland.

Belfast has great entertainment venues - the Opera House puts on excellent shows, and the new Odyssey Stadium features top bands and live Ice Hockey. Popular attractions in Belfast include Queen's University, the Botanic Gardens, the Ulster Museum and the City Hall. For spectacular views, stroll along the Laganside Walk, or even take a boat tour!
