A Trip to the Glens of Antrim-Northern Ireland. The Causeway Coastal Route with the Glens of Antrim!
Let's take you through a road trip up to the Glens of Antrim! (for those who don't know, glens are valleys!)
The Antrim coast was actually built back in 1830s and spans a massive hundred and sixty kilometres around the whole shoreline. The Glens of Antrim are locally referred to as "The Glens" and there are nine glens out there and they radiate from the Antrim Plateau to the coast.
The Glens of Antrim is one of the most famous touristic attractions in north Antrim and this goes back for the outstanding natural beauty it appears to be part of. There are different stops related to the towns and villages when it comes to the Glens of Antrim and these include Ballycastle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRnEyd8iTXc), Cushendun, Cushendall, Waterfoot, Carnlough (https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Causeway Coastal Route | Northern Ireland | County Antrim
Our trip to the Causeway Coastal Route which included passing by Dunluce Castle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdTqJPL-i5Y) and Bushmills (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neoDFRpzfFA) in county Antrim, Northern Ireland.
We believe that whenever the trip combines different destinations that are located close to one another, it turns out to be more adventurous and interesting - that's apart from hitting a place that takes a lot of time and drains energy - which was the case with this trip to the Causeway Coastal Route that gave us the chance to visit those other destinations as well.
The Causeway Coastal Route is a marked drive around the coast of Northern Ireland between the cities of Belfast and Londonderry, and there are different shorter scenic loop drives that tourists and visitors ...

EP15 - Ballygally | Causeway Coastal Route | Co. Antrim | #travel #northernireland #ulsterscots
James Shaw was the founder of the Shaw family who lived at Ballygally Castle in County Antrim, Ireland. James married around 1615 to Isabella Brisbane, the daughter of John Brisbane. They joined their family in a mass move to Ulster, northern Ireland about 1616.
As they youngest of his family, Patrick Shaw had little hope of improving his opportunities. He and his sons James and John therefore joined enthusiastically in Hugh Montgomery's plans to build a Scottish settlement on the huge tract of land he had acquired in 1606.
James Shaw first appears on the local land registers about 1618. He built Ballygally castle near Larne, on the seacoast of County Antrim, between 1620 and 1625. He and Isabella raised several children there. Their descendants intermarried with several other Scottish c...

Torr Head, Ballycastle, Co. Antrim - 360 Degree - A Stop on Our Causeway Coastal Route for a Walk
Torr Head has amazing views of the surrounding glens and over the sea to Scotland. We climbed to the old customs house which is now ruins and a decent climb for some amazing views! Watch the roads around here... so so so so so small and narrow! But worth the extra challenge as the views over the coast are impressive.
While tracking down history, Torr Head was very important for specific reasons, such as recording the passage of transatlantic ships back in the 1800s in order to relay the information back to the Lloyds of London. Torr Head was also considered the last hope for the Scottish clans beckoning aid from allies in Argyllshire.
Visiting this place might for some people appear like walking around in an empty place with some ruins but there are actually a lot of things to convince p...

Let's take you through a road trip up to the Glens of Antrim! (for those who don't know, glens are valleys!)
The Antrim coast was actually built back in 1830s and spans a massive hundred and sixty kilometres around the whole shoreline. The Glens of Antrim are locally referred to as "The Glens" and there are nine glens out there and they radiate from the Antrim Plateau to the coast.
The Glens of Antrim is one of the most famous touristic attractions in north Antrim and this goes back for the outstanding natural beauty it appears to be part of. There are different stops related to the towns and villages when it comes to the Glens of Antrim and these include Ballycastle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRnEyd8iTXc), Cushendun, Cushendall, Waterfoot, Carnlough (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btbydlfHUaQ)and Glenarm.
We started the journey with Ballygally where Glenarm, which is the first of the nine glens, is found. This is actually a wooded glen that forms part of the estate belonged to the Earl of Antrim. There is, of course, the Glenarm Castle which was built back in the 1750s, and this is actually very beautiful for its scenery and the walks across the castle trail and the castle walled gardens walk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZfdd63p5jA).
Through this road trip of trying to find the 9 Glens of Antrim, we rode through the Glencloy (which means the Glen of the Dykes) scenic route. The Glencloy is the one that is shaped like a sword and it reaches down to Carnlough (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btbydlfHUaQ). This glen is surrounded by white chalk quarries and the distinctive feature is actually the white chalk arch over the coast road near the harbour.
Completing the journey while coming from Carnlough town which is famous for the Game of Thrones, which some of its scenes were shot there.
This was a nice and amazing trip through the Glens of Antrim and we would even repeat it one more time again for the great scenery we have scene along the way. On our way back, we stopped at Carnfunnock Country Park which is an amazing place for families with kids.
Carnfunnock Country Park is not built long time ago with the maritime theme and there are five different routes inside this park for those who want to walk inside; you could walk up the hill, walk around a wooded area, and there are also loads of events held throughout the year, so you should always keep updating yourself through their website to see the things that are happening in case you want to join any of them. We could say that Carnfunnock Country Park in county Antrim is just a very nice scenic place to go to and enjoy a peaceful walk along with the scenery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7dpnG6P2Kk).
We haven't been to all the nice different Glens of Antrim in this trip, but we should mention the names of those other ones in case you want to keep going; there is the Glenariff (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maCZnomsRHk), Glenballyemon, Glenaan, Glencorp, Glendun, Glenshesk and Glentaisie.
According to history, at the Glens, there is the evidence of Neolithic communities. At Glencloy, Neolithic people had megalithic tombs in the uplands, while they lived in settlements near the coast at the end of the valley. The beaches were sources of flint, as evidenced by stone tool production sites in the glen. At Madman's Window, Neolithic chipping floors and stone axe rough outs were found along with Neolithic pottery, scrapers, flakes, and leaf-shaped arrowheads. At Bay Farm in Carnlough, a Neolithic site near marshland, archaeologists found occupation debris, charcoal, postholes, flint cores, axes and Neolithic pottery.
If you are going to visit Northern Ireland, county Antrim to be particular, and you want to explore one of the most famous historical destinations, you could go to the Glens of Antrim and explore the different scenery out there, get to know more about the history laid behind them, and enjoy all the in between places and stops that are found out there.
If you also happen to be one of the Game of Thrones fans then the Glens of Antrim is also the right place for you while being in Northern Ireland - and there are lots of other places as well which you could visit that are related to the scenes of Game of Thrones which you could plan to visit according to where you are going to stay and what will be close to your destination (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COUaQZJ8-kI).
This was one of the road trips we managed to make in county Antrim to explore the nine different Glens of Antrim - at least as much as we managed to see - and we would even repeat it later again to enjoy the rest of the things we didn't manage to see and at the same time check those scenery places which we enjoyed and would love to come across and enjoy one more time in the future.

Causeway Coastal Route | Northern Ireland | County Antrim

Our trip to the Causeway Coastal Route which included passing by Dunluce Castle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdTqJPL-i5Y) and Bushmills (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neoDFRpzfFA) in county Antrim, Northern Ireland.
We believe that whenever the trip combines different destinations that are located close to one another, it turns out to be more adventurous and interesting - that's apart from hitting a place that takes a lot of time and drains energy - which was the case with this trip to the Causeway Coastal Route that gave us the chance to visit those other destinations as well.
The Causeway Coastal Route is a marked drive around the coast of Northern Ireland between the cities of Belfast and Londonderry, and there are different shorter scenic loop drives that tourists and visitors could explore. This route is long enough for people to spend a couple of days discovering all the treasures it carries and this will also depend on the two cities which one will be travelling between.
During this trip, we passed by some different destinations that included the Dunluce Castle, which is a ruined medieval castle that is located on the edge of a basalt outcropping and which could be accessed and reached through a bridge that connects it to the mainland. Even though for some people this is considered a ruined building which they might not get excited about visiting, it is still considered a historical place for lots of others and a place that definitely should be visited in order for people to know more about the history of the place and at the same time get the chance to see the view from up there (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_QqbSMFxCk).
In addition to the Dunluce Castle, we also stopped at the Bushmills town which is also found on the Causeway Coastal Route and which is the home town for the old Irish Whiskey that is known as Bushmills. Bushmills name came from two different factors playing a role in it, which are the River Bush as well as the old 17th century watermill that was built there - so it turned out to be Bushmills as we know it today. We spent our time in this town mainly playing on the beach and enjoying the sea breeze but for those who might be looking for other places which they could visit in this town and check, there is also the Bushmills Distillery which is all about the Irish whiskey we have just mentioned (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTeje9zaee8).
Playing around with the kids on the beach and getting them introduced to Dunluce Castle was the main purpose of the trip but there are other destinations which we have been to before and which are also part of the Causeway Coastal Route - even one of them is the reason behind giving that route this name. These destinations include the Giant's Causeway (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YlmIGI7En0), passing by the famous Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, or else getting the chance to visit any of the other towns which might be found near such as Ballygally and Ballintoy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H7VhL7xmaQ).
There are always a lot of places that one could see and come across when it comes to the Causeway Coastal Route, but this will be a long journey to go through because it passes through lots of cities and thus you will need to divide them if you are already living in Ireland or else choose the one that is mostly known with its sightseeing places and visit if you are not living in Ireland and coming just for a visit.
Northern Ireland and Ireland in general are known with their unexpected weather, so always make sure you are choosing one that is not the worst in order to head to these places - we were not much lucky because we went in the rain and had to suffer that all the way to there but we eventually came to the beach with this rain stopping eventually. Yes, we have to mention that spring might face bad weather when it comes to the rain just like the same way winter would - so always take your precautions :-)
We have been to different trips before in the Causeway Coastal Route which you could check on our channel, such as the Whiterocks Beach in Portrush (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAhHuzdZeTs), there is also the Ballymacran Bank Myroe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcFwdHuITU4), we have also been to the Ballintoy Harbour before (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Aa4aOOU90c), visited the Torr Head (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht2xS6HOJFs), and of course been to the Glens of Antrim (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maCZnomsRHk). Every single trip of these is a different one but you will eventually get to enjoy the nature that surrounds you and will also love the idea of visiting some important destinations and locations related to Northern Ireland.
The Causeway Coastal Route is a long one with lots of places to visit, so pick and start your trip.

EP15 - Ballygally | Causeway Coastal Route | Co. Antrim | #travel #northernireland #ulsterscots

James Shaw was the founder of the Shaw family who lived at Ballygally Castle in County Antrim, Ireland. James married around 1615 to Isabella Brisbane, the daughter of John Brisbane. They joined their family in a mass move to Ulster, northern Ireland about 1616.
As they youngest of his family, Patrick Shaw had little hope of improving his opportunities. He and his sons James and John therefore joined enthusiastically in Hugh Montgomery's plans to build a Scottish settlement on the huge tract of land he had acquired in 1606.
James Shaw first appears on the local land registers about 1618. He built Ballygally castle near Larne, on the seacoast of County Antrim, between 1620 and 1625. He and Isabella raised several children there. Their descendants intermarried with several other Scottish clans who had moved to Ulster during the early 1600s, and they held onto Ballygally Castle for next 150 years.
The Shaw family as a whole were closely related to Hugh Montgomery of Braidstane (1560 - 1636), 1st Viscount Montgomery, who is known as one of the 'founding fathers' of the Ulster Scots -- the man who led one of the first Scottish "plantations" in northern Ireland.
Ballygalley (from Irish: Baile Geithligh, meaning 'Geithleach's townland', IPA:[ˈbˠalʲəˈɟɛhlʲiː]) is a village and holiday resort in County Antrim, Northern Ireland which lies on the Antrim coast, approximately 3 miles (5 kilometres) north of Larne. It is also a townland of 769 acres (311 hectares) and is situated in the civil parish of Carncastle and the historic barony of Glenarm Upper. It had a population of 821 in the 2011 Census. It is located within the Mid and East Antrim Borough Council area.

Torr Head has amazing views of the surrounding glens and over the sea to Scotland. We climbed to the old customs house which is now ruins and a decent climb for some amazing views! Watch the roads around here... so so so so so small and narrow! But worth the extra challenge as the views over the coast are impressive.
While tracking down history, Torr Head was very important for specific reasons, such as recording the passage of transatlantic ships back in the 1800s in order to relay the information back to the Lloyds of London. Torr Head was also considered the last hope for the Scottish clans beckoning aid from allies in Argyllshire.
Visiting this place might for some people appear like walking around in an empty place with some ruins but there are actually a lot of things to convince people to visit this place, such as the views it could offer over the Kintyre, as well as enjoying the crashing waves and the historical intrigue.
The ruins and walls of Altagora cashel which are found in Torr Head date back to the sixth century, which means that they appeared in the place long time age before the Christian church and the Irish clans came to the place. The place is really interesting to have a walk through and check even though it might not carry the same buildings and cultural museums which are found anywhere else.
From the things that Torr Head is famous with, there is the metamorphosed limestone and it is also indicative of volcanic rock sequences in Ireland and Scotland. This place ends up having the things that make it different and special, so never worry or even consider the idea of visiting the place because it carries its own history.
For me, this place definitely carry a meaning and visiting it will always be considered important to check the whole location, get the chance to enjoy the view that it offers, and at the same time see the ruins which are found there, but on the other hand and when it comes to the kids, this place might not be as interesting as it is for me, but they enjoyed walking around and also loved going up and down the rocks there - it ended up being a different experience which we enjoyed.
Torr Head is located in Ballycastle in county Antrim, Northern Ireland; Ballycastle is a small town that is found on the north-easternmost coastal tip of the island of Ireland at the northern mainland limit of the Antrim Coast and Glens are of outstanding beauty (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maCZnomsRHk). From Ballycastle, the Rathlin Island and the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland could be viewed and seen from the coastline, which as we have mentioned could be spotted from Torr Head.
Torr Head is located in Ballycastle in County Antrim, but there are other places and locations which we have visited as well and which you could also check and stop by (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRnEyd8iTXc), such as going to check the sixth door that appeared in Game of Thrones movie and which was one of the different doors that are scattered around Northern Ireland which we have made different trips to reach them all and see them in real (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWbVObIcnHw). The door that is located in Ballycastle is found in the Fullerton Arms Hotel and lots of people tend to visit just to check the door and see how it looks like in the real world along with taking some pictures (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGZdoJdaWkg).
In addition to those places which we have been to, there are also other ones which we didn't still manage to make a trip to but which are considered from the attractions in Ballycastle that one have to check at some point. These locations include the Carrick-a-Rede Rope bridge, the Ballycastle Museum, Bonamargy Friary, Ballycastle Marina, Rathlin Island, Ballintoy Harbour (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Aa4aOOU90c), Dunseverick Castle, Kinbane Castle, in addition to those tours which one could make across the coastal route or in the small town itself.
In every place you will visit in Northern Ireland or Ireland, you will definitely find something which you could do, a place which you could visit, and several things to check which might date back to a long period of time and which will be carrying history along with it. Torr Head might not carry the same importance on the list of things to do in Northern Ireland like lots of other places, but it is still considered one place to go and enjoy the views - it might be more important for the local residents who could plan a trip for it anytime and not those who might come to visit the country for a couple of days and will be more focused on checking those museums and other buildings in Belfast.
This was the trip to Torr Head which we have made, have you ever been there before? Tell us more about your experience if you have any.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
We’re on the Causeway Coastal trail here in Northern Ireland!
Driving the Causeway Coastal Route in Northern Ireland is one of the greatest drives in the world
By far I would say for me the biggest highlight was the Giant’s Causeway
I’ll never forget walking out there for the first time and
my jaw dropping because there’s all these basalt columns
you know they look like they’ve been placed there by an architect
Yeah legend has it that the giant Finn McCool made a giant causeway
hence the name
over to Scotland to fight with another giant
The Carrick-A-Rede Bridge
Now this is an old bridge that the fishermen used to use back in the day
You know what it’s been modernized now for tourists
When you take this bridge over
like the bridge is a highlight yes
but when you get out there and you’re standing
on these massive massive cliffs
you know overlooking the ocean
you really feel small
I really respected mother nature
when I was standing there
Yeah this is a wild coastal route
I’m telling you the waves are pounding
the cliffs are giant
these are some of the highest sea cliffs in the world
and when you’re standing out there
you’re just in awe
If you do get a chance
I highly recommend Ballintoy Harbour
this was one of my favourite stops
you really get up close to those wave crashing
against those cliffs and it really does take your breath away
when you’re standing there
the beauty about this place too is that
tour busses can’t get down there
and for those Game of Thrones TV buffs out there
this was used as Theon Greyjoy’s home
when he sailed his ship into the harbour
well it was Ballintoy harbour
And we can’t leave out the Dark Hedges
this is another Game of Thrones reference
it’s this grove of beach trees that tower
and make sort of a tree cave
over this really long road
It’s absolutely beautiful
it’s also Northern Ireland’s most photographed
tourist site
Having a car and doing our self-drive
around the coastal route was really key
because we could get there early in the morning
when no one else was there
and we had the Dark Hedges all to ourselves
And if you like castles
Dunluce Castle is another great stop
in Northern Ireland along the Coastal Route
again they don’t dress up their castles
you know it’s just overhanging on these cliffs
and you can just imagine what life would’ve been like
there when people were living there
One place that you gotta make sure you go out to
is the Mussenden Temple
now that’s one of the last stops
or it is the last stop on the Causeway Coastal Route
and then you go back into London Derry into
the cities and everything
but this is a nice stop and Dave loved photographing it
Yeah when I read about the Mussenden Temple
I was really curious because
you walk through a small settlement
and remnants of a settlement that’s there
and you get to the edge of this cliff and there’s
this very small stone temple
that just doesn’t look like it belongs
but it’s an incredible scene to photograph
One last thing that we have to recommend
is a little side trip that you can do
and that’s going out to Torr Head Drive
Not a lot of people make this drive out
but I highly recommend it because
as you get out t this point
you stand there and
it is the closest point to Scotland
Yes it is
It feels like you could almost reach out
and touch Scotland from there
The Giant’s Causeway Coastal Route
is just one of the best things anyone can do
it’s by far one of our favourite drives
we’ve ever done
I highly recommend it
Yeah if you love road trips
don’t miss the Causeway Coastal Route

We’re on the Causeway Coastal trail here in Northern Ireland!
Driving the Causeway Coastal Route in Northern Ireland is one of the greatest drives in the world
By far I would say for me the biggest highlight was the Giant’s Causeway
I’ll never forget walking out there for the first time and
my jaw dropping because there’s all these basalt columns
you know they look like they’ve been placed there by an architect
Yeah legend has it that the giant Finn McCool made a giant causeway
hence the name
over to Scotland to fight with another giant
The Carrick-A-Rede Bridge
Now this is an old bridge that the fishermen used to use back in the day
You know what it’s been modernized now for tourists
When you take this bridge over
like the bridge is a highlight yes
but when you get out there and you’re standing
on these massive massive cliffs
you know overlooking the ocean
you really feel small
I really respected mother nature
when I was standing there
Yeah this is a wild coastal route
I’m telling you the waves are pounding
the cliffs are giant
these are some of the highest sea cliffs in the world
and when you’re standing out there
you’re just in awe
If you do get a chance
I highly recommend Ballintoy Harbour
this was one of my favourite stops
you really get up close to those wave crashing
against those cliffs and it really does take your breath away
when you’re standing there
the beauty about this place too is that
tour busses can’t get down there
and for those Game of Thrones TV buffs out there
this was used as Theon Greyjoy’s home
when he sailed his ship into the harbour
well it was Ballintoy harbour
And we can’t leave out the Dark Hedges
this is another Game of Thrones reference
it’s this grove of beach trees that tower
and make sort of a tree cave
over this really long road
It’s absolutely beautiful
it’s also Northern Ireland’s most photographed
tourist site
Having a car and doing our self-drive
around the coastal route was really key
because we could get there early in the morning
when no one else was there
and we had the Dark Hedges all to ourselves
And if you like castles
Dunluce Castle is another great stop
in Northern Ireland along the Coastal Route
again they don’t dress up their castles
you know it’s just overhanging on these cliffs
and you can just imagine what life would’ve been like
there when people were living there
One place that you gotta make sure you go out to
is the Mussenden Temple
now that’s one of the last stops
or it is the last stop on the Causeway Coastal Route
and then you go back into London Derry into
the cities and everything
but this is a nice stop and Dave loved photographing it
Yeah when I read about the Mussenden Temple
I was really curious because
you walk through a small settlement
and remnants of a settlement that’s there
and you get to the edge of this cliff and there’s
this very small stone temple
that just doesn’t look like it belongs
but it’s an incredible scene to photograph
One last thing that we have to recommend
is a little side trip that you can do
and that’s going out to Torr Head Drive
Not a lot of people make this drive out
but I highly recommend it because
as you get out t this point
you stand there and
it is the closest point to Scotland
Yes it is
It feels like you could almost reach out
and touch Scotland from there
The Giant’s Causeway Coastal Route
is just one of the best things anyone can do
it’s by far one of our favourite drives
we’ve ever done
I highly recommend it
Yeah if you love road trips
don’t miss the Causeway Coastal Route
in Northern Ireland
