Blokarting at Nutts Corner
Blokarting at Nutts Corner says it all to me ... you sit in a cart that gets blown along and you’ll have to be nuts to attempt tight corners. Then again it is not far from karting at all, considered a “mainline” sport and not particularly dangerous.
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge (County Antrim)
The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge in County Antrim is one of the most useless attractions of Ireland - the semi-permanent bridge leads nowhere in particular, there is no need for it and ultimately it is only good for a picture and a dare.
Giant's Causeway (County Antrim)
No wonder that the giant Finn MacCool was supposed to have built this marvel to cross the sea - rarely does nature produce such regular shapes. Though located in a quite remote area, the Giant's Causeway is definitely amongst the top ten things to see in Ireland.
Images of the Giant's Causeway
If you want to experience one of nature's true wonders in Ireland make sure to visit the Giant's Causeway. Strangely regular basalt columns dominate the landscape and seem to lead across to Scotland. See it in pictures before you travel ...
Irish Game Fair & Country Lifestyle Festival
The Irish Game Fair & Country Lifestyle Festival at Shanes Castle (County Antrim) is a great day out for the whole family
Old Bushmills Distillery, Bushmills (County Antrim)
This is your one and only opportunity to visit a distillery actually producing whiskey in all of Ireland - all other distilleries are visitors centers and museums with no real production going on.
