Causeway Coastal Route

About

The Causeway Coastal Route is a legendary scenic drive that snakes along the rugged North‑Coast coast of Northern Ireland, stretching from Newry in County Down to Derry in County Londonderry. Covering a nearly 250‑mile stretch of the A2, the route is famed for its dramatic cliffs, sweeping ocean vistas, and a string of iconic landmarks that include the world‑heritage Giant’s Causeway, the cliff‑side Carrick‑a‑Rede Rope Bridge, the cliff‑top town of Portrush, the historic Dunluce Castle, and the charming harbour of Bushmills. As you cruise from the bustling city of Belfast, past the picturesque fishing villages of Ballycastle and Strangford, through the lush Glens of Antrim, and along the dramatic Antrim Coast Road, you’ll experience one of the finest drives in the United Kingdom. Perfect for car‑loansled motorists, cyclists, photographers, and families seeking a mix of natural beauty and cultural heritage, the road offers a free, easy‑going way to soak in Northern Ireland’s spectacular landscapes and historic sites.
