Causeway Coastal Route

The Causeway coastal route starts in Belfast and ends in Derry/Londonderry, a scenic road trip covering 130 miles of stunning coastline.

The route is undeniably one of Ireland’s best-known and most-loved drives, offering spectacular views and a variety of points of interest including set locations for the world-famous Game of Thrones, the lush green Glens of Antrim, the Gobbins cliff walk, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, the Giant’s Causeway, several dozen great beaches and so much more!

A staple Northern Irish adventure, the coastal route map can differ depending on where you start your journey.

Beginning in Belfast, head north and you’ll enjoy endless sea views as you drive by the quaint towns and villages of Carrickfergus, Whitehead and Larne before stopping for a much-needed break at Carnlough. Of course, you can embark on this beautiful journey from the opposite direction, starting in Derry/Londonderry and making your way towards Belfast.

Taking a break on the road is important for any driver and passengers. For a bite of lunch, a quick drink or just a chance to stretch the legs and admire the local scenery. Parking up at our hotel will ensure you have a warm welcome, a welcome break and friendly local guidance for the rest of your trip.

At Carnlough is where you’ll find us, The Londonderry Arms Hotel. Here, you can pop in for whatever takes your fancy - a tasty bite to eat, a refreshment, or even a comfy night’s stay so you can fully appreciate the beautiful coastal atmosphere.

In Carnlough itself, you can also take time to explore the village’s fascinating rich history, beautiful namesake beach, and many shops and cafes.

There’s also Glenarm Castle, known fondly as a national treasure. Here, you can wander in its historic Walled Gardens, or marvel at the grand house interior. The mythical nine Glens of Antrim radiate from the Antrim Plateau to the coast, offering an area of outstanding natural beauty that is a must-see for adventurers from near and far.

From here, driving the Causeway coastal route will take you to many other destinations that are firm favourites. From Rathlin Island to the Dark Hedges, Ballintoy Harbour to the Giant’s Causeway - you’ll never be short of sights to see and things to do on this magnificent stretch of coast.

No matter where your final destination is on the Causeway coastal map, we make a great rest stop to help you feel refreshed for the remainder of your journey. Contact us today to book.
