Portrush to Portadown

Was another early start yesterday morning to beat the rush of tourists. Went to the ‘Giants Causeway’. The geology of the rocky landscape is amazing, had to walk down about 1 1/2 kms, ok walking down not tooooo bad walking up but the weather could have been better, drizzly most of the time but well worth the walk. Drove around the coast then into Belfast and saw the ‘peace walls’ still left there after all the riots. Very eerie still especially one of the streets where a lot of the deaths occurred. We also had time to photograph the viaduct close to Portadoen, then on to our great accommodation at Crannagael House, been in the same family since the 1700’s and our self contained accomm. Was just lovely. The hosts were just lovely, we sat outside in a courtyard with them, shared some cider and learnt a lot about their property. We then had a guided tour of the veg garden which supplies a couple of upmarket restaurants, we then picked some for our salad to go with our steak. Yummy.Read more
