The route follows the coast and takes you to several major tourist attractions along the way including The Giant's Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Dunluce Castle, The Old Bushmills Whiskey Distillery and the Glens of Antrim. There are also nine scenic loop roads that run off the main Coastal Route. These are: Islandmagee, Slemish Mountain, Glenariff, Glendun, Torr Road, Glenshesk, Bann Valley, Binevenagh Mountain and the Roe Vally. One of these (Torr Scenic Road)is quite narrow so do be careful if your not used to our small roads, one tip is to pull in your wing mirrors on the Torr Road. « less

This was the main reason for our trip to Derry this spring. This coastal route strecthes from Belfast to Derry and can be taken from either city. We stayed in Derry. You need to set off early as a number of quaint villages, undiscovered beaches, marinas, places of historical significance, castles, etc. We drove down this route on two days.... More

The route is well maintained and easy to follow. Beautiful views of the water and local scenery. Drove from Derry to Giants Causeway, then beyond. Be sure to stop and take the time to visit the little villages along the way. There are many small roads that lead straight down to the water. Nice hidden beaches.

Really great scenery and lots of interesting places to stop along the way. Can be done in a day - but, best broken up into a couple of days. We did the northern part one day - Port Stewart to Ballycastle and then the southern part, from Carrickfergus to Cushendall, the second day - cutting back inland on the A43,... More

Driving the Causeway Coastal Route was so beautiful. There were many old churches, cemetaries and cute little stores here and there. The hedges were brilliant and everything was just beautiful.

this drive is a MUST if you will be at the causeway. Its so so beautiful, but expect it to take some time. We pulled over quite a bit to enjoy the views or to take pictures. We drove it as the sun was setting and it was fantastic. A must see!

Take your time, stop at intervals in the car parks, get out and admire the views. The busiest place is the Rope Bridge in terms of congestion at weekends and best avoided if you have not a head for heights.

The Coastal Route will take you along the beach where the views are simply stunning. The cliffs are gorgeous and there are plenty of places to stop for tea and a sandwich.
