A rather photogenic rock formation on the Atlantic coast

In Game of Thrones, this was Lordsport on the Iron Islands.

A 2 km climb (the last kilometer is very steep and muddy across the sheep pasture) and over and under fences. The effort is only worth it in good weather, because the view is magnificent. Far inland and towards the coast over Rathlin Island to Scotland.

Without the Games of Thrones reference this rather boring old quarry tzranformed into a parlink lot would definitely not be worth a visit - now at least for fans it is a destination.

Built in 1547, Kinbane Castle is almost 500 years old and is a stunning site. With the waves crashing against the rocks below it makes for a rugged picnic spot!

Stumble along the flowing Gleneshk River in the beautiful Breen Forest in County Antrim. The river is a refreshing oasis and great place to sit down and picnic before continuing on your journey.
