Antrim Coast

Inspired by the clearing weather we took a gap of blue sky and headed up the Antrim coast, north of Belfast, to the Giants Causeway and found a lot more besides!

Geoff's mom Kay was in Belfast around the same time as us so we joined forces and navigated our way up along the beautiful Antrim coastal roads. It is a very beautiful area - particularly with the sunlight on it and we had time enough to explore a few lovely little bays, climb the Torrs Head and walk the Giants Causeway. Hopefully the pictures will speak for themselves!

Stunning coastline at Carrick-a-Rede

The Giants Causeway is made of bizarre columns of rock

Every shape of pentagon, hexagon and heptagon that you can imagine!

The rock weathers(?) into these amazing stepping stones, some with concave, some flat and some with convex tops.
