Our journey continues along Northern Ireland’s Antrim Coast road, which hugs the shore line and offers beautiful sea views to your right and stunning Glens and the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to your left. We follow the route via Portrush, then arrive in Derry for free time to explore – why not join one of the walking tours of the city to uncover more of the rich history or visit some of the areas made famous by the popular TV show, 'Derry Girls'?
Established as a monastery, destroyed by Norse invaders, surrounded by city walls, and marked by conflict, this city has certainly had a turbulent past. However, today, the city promotes peace and unity, symbolised by the Peace Bridge and the colourful murals. Derry is also the perfect place to shop, with the Richmond and Quayside Shopping Centres offering contemporary options and the Craft Village housing an eclectic mix of artisan craft shops.
We then cross the border into the Republic of Ireland and carry on to the Ballyliffin Lodge Hotel for a two-night stay.

We then continue to Malin Head, the most northerly point on the island of Ireland, to admire the Atlantic Ocean and take in the salt air!
This morning we call in to Donegal for a short stop to see the highlights of this charming town, before continuing to Dublin. Whether you want to embrace history, shopping, art, or simply a pint of Guinness, you’ll find it all in the capital! We will depart late evening to allow you the chance to enjoy a meal in Dublin at your leisure before continue to our overnight hotel on the outskirts of the city.
