Itinerary
The dark hedges were planted in 1755 by James Stuart as an impressive drive towards the house. He built Gracehill House and named it after his wife Grace. There where 150 beech trees planted and still stand 250 years later. In January 2016 a storm named Gertrude fell upon Northern Ireland. Out of the fallen trees, 10 doors were carved and placed around sites of interest in Northern Ireland, one being the doors of Gracehill that is now a bar, restaurant and home to Gracehill Golf course. Used as a film location for G O T, "The Kings Rd"
Dunluce castle was built in the 16th century and was a common battle ground for the McDonnell and the McQuillan Clans, the town of Dunluce was built around the grounds but never stood the test of time. It was also used in GOT "Seat of the House of Greyjoy".
Bushmills is famous for its whiskey around the world, built in 1608, The oldest distillery in the world. Bushmills was a well sot after whiskey as the government introduced tax on whiskey to try and curb people consuming alcohol, most distilleries changed from barley to corn to avoid the tax, but Bushmills paid the vast sum and kept to its traditional recipe.
One of the most visited sites we have on the island of Northern Ireland. The most characteristic and unique feature of the site is the exposure of some 40,000 large polygonal columns of basalt in perfect horizontal sections. This dramatic sight has inspired legends of giants striding over the sea to Scotland. Namely Finn McCool.
This suspended foot bridge was used by local fishermen to lay out the salmon nets. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. It spans 20 metres and is 30 metres above the rocks below. The bridge is mainly a tourist attraction and is owned and maintained by the National Trust. (Admission fee) £15.00

Traveler reviews
Bespoke experience! Thank you
Mark curated a great day for us, including stops at Bushmills Distillery and Giants Causeway. He even did his best to manage the weather, but being March in Northern Ireland that did get the better of us at Giants Causeway! It was a fun and informative day, we'd love to book with him again!
Top taxi
Our driver was good, kind and patient. Our flight was delayed and we waited at the wrong spot once arrived as well. But after 45 minutes we found each other through mobile phone and he gave us a smooth and very pleasant ride to Cushendall. Thanks very much!
Great way to see around Belfast
Great driver very informative and friendly. Helped us get a number of great pictures. And showed us multiple great sites with good locations.
Wonderful Experience
We needed a transfer from Belfast to Derry on a recent trip and had always wanted to see Giants Causeway. We were so happy to find Mark to take us. He was kind, courteous, and personable, and we enjoyed chatting with him during the trip, as he had so much great information about the sites. He arrived early and made everything so easy. The vehicle was absolutely spotless and comfortable - we can't say enough good things about this experience. Highly recommend this service and we will definitely use again. Thanks so much, Mark!
