With over 200km of diverse coastline and a strong maritime history, Northern Ireland is the perfect destination for a relaxing touring holiday. You could easily use our truly beautiful harbours and coastal villages as a loose itinerary for your visit.

Life can be hectic at times so it’s nice to hit pause and spend time away with family. Check out what Donna-Louise Todd (@Mrs.Houseproud)and her family got up to as they have a giant adventure in Armagh.

Northern Ireland has a ton of family activities and adventures to enjoy and we promise they won’t burn a hole in your wallet or purse. Here are a few budget friendly ideas for starters.

In the colder months, there's something special about heading outdoors in the cool sunshine, to stretch the legs and feel the breeze blowing through your hair. After building up an appetite take yourselves off to a cosy pub for a seat by the fire and sip of your favourite tipple. And if that's what you fancy doing today, check out a few of our favourite walks and nearby pubs in this blog.

Northern Ireland is steeped in history. It’s in our landscapes, our buildings and our people. And when you come here you can step into that history like nowhere else in the world. From the outright spectacular to the quaint and unique, we are home to a collection of castles, hotels, inns and cottages that give you a direct window to our past.
