I know- I was near…but not quite on the right road for the Dark Hedges…oops. I heard that the peace wall will be coming down. I hope that’s the case.

The Mournes are worth seeing, and Strangford Lough. As for the sectarian Belfast tour, as a Northern Irish woman, it’s time to leave it in the past.

I agree

I have often found “must see” places to be disappointing and/or irrelevant. Guide books are a great help to tourists – and I am a big Rick Steves fan – but they are not the be all and end all for traveling. Do what interests you and you’re bound to be satisfied with your experience!

Thanks- it makes a fun ride. And tricky too- to be honest, I’m not sure I was actually in the right place for the Dark Hedges. It’s not like they have a billboard. You just have to go…and then figure it out as you go along

Love the idea of a scavenger hunt of the sites where Game of Thrones was filmed.

I agree. I’m super brave 🙂

If you only do the Rope Bridge and the Causeway (which is indeed awesome), then you miss the opportunity to take a nice stroll on the beach.
