What's On along the Causeway Coastal Route

Everything you see as you make your way along the Causeway Coastal Route will etch itself into your memory. Discover 120 miles of Northern Ireland's coastal landscapes and lustrous scenery. The route cuts through a rich tapestry of stunning bays and harbours, luscious green glens, rolling hills, rivers, and lakes. But beyond the splendour of the scenery are the incredible people you'll meet and their celebrations in song and dance, in food and the fairs and festivals that bring them together every year. Some highlights include...

Armoy Road Races - The Race of Legends (Fri 24 - Sat 25 Jul)
