A visit to Islandmagee is a trip back to less rushed and stressful times. A peninsula on the East Antrim coast steeped in history with cottages, rolling fields, quiet villages and spectacular coastline, it is a microcosm of the Northern Ireland countryside.

Bring a picnic and enjoy a picnic by the coast; watch out for seabirds like Kittiwakes, Guillemots and Razorbill.
