Derry City Walls
Walk beside the fortified ramparts from the 1600s that have survived several sieges and offer panoramic views of the Maiden City.
Malin Head
When you visit the breathtaking Malin Head on northernmost tip of Ireland, you’ll soon understand why the tourist trail here is called the Wild Atlantic Way. At the peak of the Inishowen Peninsula, Malin Head offers some of the most indomitable views you will ever see over the northern Atlantic and its geological marvels are second only to the Giant’s Causeway Coast.
Portrush East Strand Beach
Ride a horse along the varied coastal terrain that features sand dunes and limestone cliffs. Appreciate the views of distant headlands.

The park covers an impressive 66 square miles of countryside.

Delve into this cave system and wander through an intriguing underworld of illuminated stalagmites and stalactites, natural chambers and subterranean rivers.
