Causeway Coastal Route

Recognized as one of the top scenic drives in Europe, the Causeway Coastal Route is to Ireland what the Garden Route is to South Africa. This scenic highway winds through 120 miles of coast between Belfast and Londonderry. Travelers can take their pick of nine scenic offshoots from the main road—or take every one! 
Travelers who venture off on the smaller “B roads” that lead to Roe Valley, Bann Valley and Glenshesk will find small villages, quiet towns and unique shopping destinations. But all scenic stops are ripe with thick foliage, beautiful scenery and impressive views that make a long drive along single-lane back roads worth it.

Practical Info

Locals suggest travelers who want to tick off all the scenic stops allot at least a week to fully experience the beauty of the Causeway.
