*As people don’t want to spend that much time in the cold countryside when it starts getting cold, we might give a little bit less time at the Giant’s Causeway and add the time onto the Belfast stop.
*Not suitable for people with limited mobility. A fair bit of walking is involved.
*Not suitable for children under 10.
At the indicated time, you will leave Parnell Square North and head to Belfast. On the bus, your tour guide will tell you Irish legends, myths, and history as you pass some key spots on your journey.
Your first stop will be the Dark Hedges. You will enjoy some free time in this mysterious place.
Planted 350 years ago, this lane of beech trees is an incredible sight to behold, making it an amateur photographer’s dream location. The Dark Hedges were made famous more recently as they featured in Game of Thrones, and they captured the attention and imagination of GoT fans from all over the world.
Stopping at the Dark Hedges is also a great opportunity to stretch your legs, walk and take some incredible pictures. If you get lucky, you might even get a picture of the Grey Lady: a legendary ghost that haunts the hedges.
Your next stop will be the Deluce Castle, one of the most beautiful castle ruin in Northern Ireland and definitely worth the 5-minute photo stop. The reason this castle is a ruin is that the kitchen fell into the ocean and the owners didn’t feel safe staying.
After that stop, we will reach the magnificent Giant’s Causeway. It was formed in the aftermath of a volcanic eruption around 50 to 60 million years ago, leaving 40,000 interlocking basalt columns.
However, beyond the geological story, there is an alternative story: a myth that the Giants Causeway was built by the Irish Giant, Finn McCool.
The uniqueness of the Giant’s Causeway is what led to it becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the 8th wonder of the world, you cannot afford to miss the Giant’s Causeway on your visit to Ireland.
After visiting the spectacular Giant’s Causeway, you will return to Belfast on the Old Coastal road. Enjoying fantastic views of the Irish Sea and all the Glens of Antrim. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Scotland and the Isle of Man. This is a truly magnificent road to drive, with some of the best views in the world.
Once in Belfast, you will enjoy some free time to stroll around the city.
You will have more than enough time to explore the important and impressive sites in Belfast’s city center, learning about the legacy of The Troubles. Take pictures of the impressive City Hall, walk down the main shopping streets, and maybe get some food.
You will return to Dublin around 7:30–8:30 PM.
Greca Tip: Remember that Northern Ireland is part of the UK, so the currency is Pounds Sterling (£).
