    Ballintoy, Northern Ireland

    June 1, 2024 in Northern Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    After lunch at Farren's Pub and a lovely scenic drive, we arrived to take the Lough Foyle Ferry across to Northern Ireland to our next stop on the Causeway Coast - Ballintoy. The weather has just got better and better today.

    Our accommodation is a cute little cottage with sea views across the Atlantic Ocean. Everyone has their own room again so happy days. After settling in, we walked down to Ballintoy Harbour and I mean down and down and down. Lovely harbour though and lots of people down there, swimming, boating or just enjoying the sunshine. There is a lovely little white church we can see from our front window and fields of sheep, lots of little lambs and pregnant mothers among them.

    Dinner at the pub just down the road was a success with enough leftovers for breakfast. It’s still so light outside we decided to drive over to see the Dark Hedges which is famous for featuring in Game of Thrones. No cars driving on the road at this time which was great.    Read more
