Days Out in Bushmills

The Causeway Coast Way runs right through Bushmills, putting the Giant's Causeway within walking distance — or there's the narrow-gauge railway when feet are flagging.

🌊By the seabeaches & coast

Dunluce Castle's clifftop ruins are close too, and the Old Bushmills Distillery sits in the town itself.

Six beaches within reach, including Runkerry Strand and Portballintrae, mean the coast is always an option. More than half the 48 nearby spots are free, though indoor cover is thin — around three spots — so this is a bright-day kind of destination.
