On Derry’s Doorstep Derry~Londonderry, where the Wild Atlantic
Way meets the Causeway Coastal Route acts
as an ideal hub from which you can explore
the beauty of the North West of Ireland.
Take advantage of the city’s fantastic
location and explore the rest of the region;
less than a 1 hour drive takes you along the
magnificent Causeway Coastal Route which
sweeps eastward from the Foyle Estuary
taking in major visitor attractions such as
the UNESCO World Heritage Site the Giant’s
Causeway, Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge and
Bushmills Whiskey Distillery, the oldest
licensed distillery in the world!
Northern Ireland was a key filming location
for HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ series and the
Causeway Coastal Route featured heavily
throughout the series.
To the South of the city lie the Sperrin
Mountains, a stunning area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty and to the West you can
marvel at the natural beauty of Co. Donegal,
home to the spectacular Malin Head –
Ireland’s most northerly point located
on the picturesque Inishowen Peninsula,
and fabulous attractions such Glenveagh
National Park and Doagh Famine Village, not
to mention some of the best links golf courses
in Europe and gateway to the award-winning
‘Wild Atlantic Way’ - the longest defined
coastal touring route in the world.
With its spectacular coast spotted with
sea stacks, blue flag beaches and off shore
islands it’s no wonder Donegal was recently
