2. Around 250 years ago fishermen erected Carrick-a-reed rope bridge for the purpose of fishing for Atlantic salmon. This was a flourishing industry at the time and in any one day there may have been catches of up to 350 fish. However by 2002 you would be lucky to catch the same amount in a whole season. It is no longer used by fishermen during the salmon season. The bridge spans just over 20 metres across and 30 meters ( over 100 feet) above sea level. This can be quite daunting for some visitors and on a few occasions there have been people who can't make it back across and have had to be taken by boat back to the mainland. So come and have a look for yourself.

Often called the Eighth Wonder of the world, the Giant's causeway is a magical, mythical and mysterious place to visit. Made up of over 40 thousand polygonal columns these stones were created more than 60 million years ago. Was it volcanic activity or a dispute between two Giants?? Come and see for yourself and make your own mind up!

6. The Dark Hedges is a beautiful avenue of beech trees planted by the Stuart family in the 18th century and the idea was that they would impress anyone who visited their Georgian mansion ( Gracehill house). Due to the enormous worldwide success of the television series, 'The Game of Thrones' now almost two centuries later the iconic trees have become the most photographed natural phenomenon in Northern Ireland.

About Belfast

Belfast is Northern Ireland's capital, a harbour city between hills and lough, known for shipbuilding, Victorian pubs, murals and the Titanic story.

Belfast grew with the linen and shipbuilding trades, and the giant yellow cranes of the old shipyard still stand over the docks where the Titanic was built and launched in 1911. The Titanic Quarter now holds a large museum on that story. In the centre, the domed City Hall, completed in 1906, stands in a square of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and the Cathedral Quarter has cobbled lanes and old pubs.
