Northern Ireland holidays

Part of the UK, Northern Ireland comprises six counties of the island of Ireland. The island’s reputation for beautiful coast, mountains covered in Celtic mist and luscious lakelands doesn’t stop at the border on Northern Ireland holidays though. Take a train from Dublin to Belfast or travel on board a small cruising boat from Scotland and, while you are there, discover the real Ulster Way – a long distance walking trail that takes you through peaceful glens, coastal villages and ancient woodland.

Amazing to be on a trail where you don’t see a living soul all day! Locals were lovely - so friendly and kind. Tips? Bring a compass in case the mist sets in.

It was lovely and I would rate it 5 stars! (more)Joan Rogliano
