Co Antrim

This is one of Northern Ireland's best-loved attractions. Walk this amazing rope bridge, connecting the cliffs to the rock island, over a 30m-deep and 20m-wide chasm. Those bold enough to cross are rewarded with fantastic views and wildlife.

The Crown Bar

The most famous pub in Belfast, The Crown Bar is one of the finest examples of a High Victorian public house in existence. The ornate interior contains brightly-coloured tiles, carvings and glass. Sit in one of the snugs and enjoy a pint in this wonderfully atmospheric setting.

Patterson's Spade Mill

You can buy one of only 200 spades made by hand every year, at this the last working water-driven spade mill in daily use in the British Isles. Hear and smell the grit on a guided tour of traditional spade-making.

Co Armagh

Derrymore House

This thatched house makes an ideal stopping point on the drive between Belfast and Dublin. The house is typical of the informal thatched retreats boasted by many estates in the 18th century. It is surrounded by picturesque parkland.

Co Londonderry

Hezlett House

Hezlett House is one of only a few buildings in Northern Ireland to survive from before the 18th century. The 17th-century thatched house is simply furnished in late-Victorian style. It is home to the Downhill Marbles collection from the Bishop of Derry's Demesne at Downhill.

Co Tyrone

Gray's Printing Press

This 18th-century printing press is famous for its links with America. John Dunlap, the printer of the American Declaration of Independence, and James Wilson, grandfather of President Woodrow Wilson, learnt their trade here.

Wellbrook Beetling Mill

Beetling was the final stage in the production of linen. Wellbrook is the last working beetling mill in Northern Ireland and you can enjoy hands-on demonstrations of the linen process. The mill is situated in an idyllic wooded glen with picnic spots by the River Ballinderry.
