Northern Ireland is filled with towers, turrets and tales of yore. The spectacular scenery is breathtaking as we travel from our base in Coleraine to Derry for a guided walking & coach tour “unlocking the walled city” as we discover the tales of 400 years from past to present all about this fascinating city’s history, followed by a visit to Derry’s fabulous Guildhall, one
of the city’s most recognisable landmarks, where we are greeted by the Mayor for a sparkling prosecco drinks reception and guided tour of this fabulous building. We also visit the extraordinary Giants Causeway and it’s award winning Visitors Centre, where we can learn all about the mystery of this unique landmark, continuing along the mighty Causeway Coastal Route, boasting spectacular views, we make our way to the Old Bushmills Distillery, the world’s oldest licenced working
distillery in County Antrim, where Bushmills Irish Whiskey is made, we have included a guided distillery tour and of course a wee dram to sample. A two hour cruise takes us from Ballycastle Harbour in search of puffins, seals and lighthouses! We hear stories from our guide as we sail to Rathin Island, which has two lighthouses and is home to Northern Irelands largest seabird colony. Once back on dry land, we make our way to Dunfin Farm, a traditional working farm, where we’re treated to a “sheep experience”, learning all about the dog and shepherds relationship, along with a sheep sheering demonstration. We round off this visit to Northern Ireland with a guided tour of the capital city, Belfast, highlighting the top attractions and historic landmarks, before we make our way to the world-famous Titanic Belfast, the very place where Titanic was designed, built and launched in 1911. Telling the story of the Titanic, from her conception in Belfast in
the early 1900s, through her construction and launch, to its maiden voyage and subsequent place in history. The self-guided Titanic Experience extends over nine interpretive and interactive galleries, which explore the sights, sounds, smells and stories of RMS Titanic, as well as the city and people who made her.
