So many marvellous views to soothe the eyes, historical sights from the beginning of settlement in Ireland. All this splendour, within such a compact geographical area, makes the Causeway Coast the jewel in Northern Ireland's crown, attracting millions of visitors every year.
Place of Legends
The story goes that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool), from the Fenian Cycle of Gaelic mythology, was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner.
Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two giants could meet.

Visit the Causeway Coast...
The locals really enjoy living in this part of the world and they live a relaxed peaceful life taking part in their community and appreciating the beauty around them. I was lucky enough to grow up for most of my childhood in Coleraine.
As a child we would try to name all the towns that begin with 'Bally' on the car rides and bounce on the springy grass at the Giant's Causeway, the world around us was inspiring.
Discovering The Causeway Coast by car, camper, motorbike or bicycle is easy, peaceful and relaxed. There's plenty of other campers and caravaners if that's your mode of transport.
Choose to vary your surroundings by staying a few nights in one location and and a few nights in another, roaming around to maximise your holiday experience. Or find the location you resonate with most and base yourself there, either way will work! You'll find great choices of different types of Accommodation to soak up the ancient atmosphere of this remarkable coastline.
