Ballycastle Tips
Drivers should avoid the Antrim coastal town of Ballycastle when it hosts the annual Auld Lammas Fair on the last Monday and Tuesday of August. Visitors attending the 400-year-old fair might like to taste two traditional specialities - dulce (dried seaweed) and yellowman (sticky honeycomb).
Visitors spending time in Ballycastle will almost certainly venture westwards along the coast to visit the Giant's Causeway. En route, it's well worth stopping off at the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, a truly terrifying, wobbly fisherman's bridge that connects the mainland cliffs to Carrick Island 80 feet above the water. The brave souls who complete the walk there and back are rewarded with a certificate. Others can watch, marvel and thrill to the beautiful scenery. - Carol
