I'm planning a wee trip to Norn Ireland, going over from Troon on Wednesday night, abdck on Sunday evening. I think I'll be trundling round anti-clockwise, and want to visit the Giant's causeway since I've never been there.
So, any recommendations for what else to do (apart from the obvious consumption of black beer)?

Re: Northern Ireland
We went to Ireland last Sept.
Stayed at Dundonald Ice Bowl camp site Belfast.On a main bus route to the city & bongo parked up safe all day on site.
Went north on the scenic coast route past Carrickfergus castle.
Fish & chips need to be eaten from Mortons Chip Shop, Ballycastle.
Went to Giants Causeway.Arrived about 5pm, but something tells me that if we'd arrived a little later the National Trust people would have gone home & we wouldn't have had to pay entry ... or was it car parking ...Mmmm can't quite remember.
Anyhow there is a distillery at Bushmills ......
Then onto Derry, a visit to the "museum of free Derry". Parking off Fahan Street/Rossville St. not far from museum & handy walk to rest of Derry.
We then continued south down the coast really, but I guess that's getting beyond your time limit..
Hope you have decent weather & a good trip what ever you do,
Nigel
