Hi CDenver
I have posted an article about travel in northern Ireland below. If you are not driving my suggestion would be a combination of train and bus travel(bus will take you where the trains cannot and is also cheaper)although travelling by train is wonderful and you do get to see a lot of the countryside.
Northern Ireland, and most visitors begin their journey in
Dublin, but more travellers are now making their way up to the Northern region to visit some of the country’s most popular sights.
The capital,
Belfast, is a mix of old and new, with a history to match visitors can enjoy walking tours through some of the city’s most interesting areas where Ireland’s past is steeped.
The city was also home to the Titanic before it sailed on its maiden voyage, and developments are underway to open a Titanic Quarter for visitors.
Just up north from Belfast, visitors will be pleasantly surprised with the newly designated
Causeway Coastal Route. Travellers can use the
Northern Ireland route to visit the Co Antrim’s coastal villages before stopping at the famous, and Ireland’s first World Heritage site, the Giant’s Causeway.
A stop to the
Bushmills factory is also a must-see, as it celebrates its 400th year of production in 2008. Taste testing and a tour can also be arranged.
The City of
Londonderry is also unique as it is Ireland’s only completely walled city. The Walls enclose the city, keeping in the vibrant, cultural lifestyle.
Not far from Londonderry is the burial ground for country’s most famous Irish man,
St Patrick. Visitors can walk the footsteps of the famous saint by exploring the Cathedral city of
Armagh and
Downpatrick and visit the St Patrick museum for a greater insight.
A visit to the North is a truly unique experience and getting there has never been easier with only a short two hours drive from Dublin.
Best wishes
Anne
