The Giants Causeway – an obvious choice because it is spectacular – even in the rain!

Three out of five of the Northern Ireland entries were all from County Antrim and not too far from out home town of Ballymena. We feel a road trip is in order and a visit to all these beautiful Northern Ireland locations.
