Causeway Coastal Route

If you’re hiring a car in the city, you simply must drive the stunning Causeway Coastal Route from Belfast to Derry. This 120-mile route takes in major attractions and outstanding coastal scenery, earning it a well-deserved reputation as ‘one of the world’s great road journeys’. Highlights include the Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Glenariff Forest Park and Derry/Londonderry. Head off route and discover even more unforgettable views in the surrounding Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Giant’s Causeway

Hire a car in Belfast and visit the magnificent Giant’s Causeway on the north coast of Co Antrim. Shrouded in mystery, this remarkable geological formation is made up of nearly 40,000 basalt columns that stretch out to sea. During your visit, why not stop by the Causeway Hotel for high tea? Or travel by steam train along the coast to the historic town of Bushmills, home to the famous ‘Old Bushmills’ Distillery.

Dunluce Castle

Take advantage of our Belfast car hire and visit dramatic Dunluce Castle on the north Antrim coast. In a striking location close to a headland that plunges into the sea, this medieval castle is steeped in fascinating history. Archaeological evidence has proven that a village once surrounded the castle but was destroyed by fire in 1641. The site was also witness to the sinking of a colony ship in 1857 that resulted in the loss of 240 lives.

Walled City of Derry/Londonderry

Walled City of Derry/Londonderry

Derry/Londonderry is the only remaining completely walled city in Ireland. It is one of the finest of its kind in Europe, offering a unique experience to visitors. The city’s distinctive architecture and striking hilltop setting overlooking the River Foyle makes it a must-visit on trips to Derry/Londonderry. Its two road bridges over the river, the Craigavon and Foyle, are iconic structures that act as gateways to this impressive city.

The Glens of Antrim

Ireland is known as ‘The Emerald Isle’ and it’s easy to see why when you cast your gaze over the lush green beauty of the Glens of Antrim. These nine valleys form a patchwork quilt of glorious natural beauty stretching 80 miles from Larne to the coast. It is said that a young St Patrick tended sheep at Slemish Mountain in the region. ‘Queen of the Glens’, Glenariff is perhaps the most beautiful with its waterfalls and plunging gorge.
