Days Out in Castlerock

Mussenden Temple on the cliff edge above Downhill Beach is one of the most striking spots on the North Coast — and it's free.

Castlerock Beach is right in the village, and Long Line Surf School runs lessons if anyone in the group wants to try surfing.

Hezlett House and the Downhill Demesne add a heritage angle nearby, and the Gortmore Viewpoint — with the Manannán Mac Lir statue — is worth the short detour for the view alone. There are four indoor options nearby when the weather closes in.
