Antrim

County Antrim is one of Northern Ireland's most desirable and picturesque destinations. The Causeway Coast and the Glens of Antrim are both areas of unsurpassed beauty, a unique blend of heritage and magnificent scenery. Covering an area of just over 1,000 square miles, Antrim is home to some of Ireland's best loved myth and legend.

The Giant's Causeway in the north of Antrim is a World Heritage Site, an extraordinary mass of basalt columns tightly packed together, some 37,000 in total, leading into the sea. Legend tells that the giant, Finn MacCool, laid the Causeway to provide a path across the water to the Isles of the Hebrides for his Scottish love. Today, an award winning Visitor Centre is the gateway to the Causeway.
