 The Causeway coastal route, from Larne is a journey of
natural wonders, peppered with villages and towns, which have
retained character and charm over generations. As you drive
you'll be amazed at the dazzling views of the Scottish coast
unfolding across the North Channel on a clear day. We pass
through Ballygally, Glenarm, Carnlough, Glenariff, Cushendall
with its unique town - centre tower house, Cushendun, a
relaxing 'time-capsule' village of pretty Cornish-style
cottages, then we continue along the coast to Torr Head that

Ireland (inaccessible by large coaches) Torr Head itself has
great seascape views. We continue on toward Ballycastle, where
