The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in Cultra is a brilliant place to visit.

Carrickfergus has one of the best castles in northern Ireland

this is a side of Grace we don't get to see, so happy and joyful, lifts my spirits❤👍

Lovely to see you guys visiting us here in Northern Ireland..... the most generous people in the World we love all visitors!!

It's lovely to see you two at play. I hope you had a wonderful anniversary. A great castle story for you - visited the ruined Harlech Castle in Wales about 23 years ago. At the end, in the gift shop, the attendant answered the phone. The gist of the conversation: Attendant. No, we're not interested. No, it's not what we need. No, it's not what we want....... Sir, this is a ruined castle. We have no use for double glazing. Goodbye. Thought it might amuse you - it certainly made us laugh.

It's really wonderful to see you guys exploring the backyard of my youth! So much history and natural beauty in that area. The whole coastline from there round to Ballycastle is gorgeous. A bit further round the coast is the coastal village of Portballintrae, which supposedly is the only place the UK ever shelled by a U-boat (no idea why!). Bushmills is just down the road from there, make sure you have a stop at the Distillery (oldest licensed distillery in the world), and make a stop at the "Gas Bar" in the Bushmills in some evening (still lit by gas lamps and lots of open fires throughout the hotel which are nice when it's cold!) Years and years ago, my dad was part of a local news April Fools' joke, where the TV news announced that Michael Jackson was going to buy Dunluce Castle. My dad was the supposed "leader" of the petition against it and got loads of phonecalls from people wanting to support him! People bandy around as fact that MJ was interested, but I can confirm it all stemmed from a televised April Fools.

Glad you've been using the nice weather to explore the magical coastal scenery of Northern Ireland.

Happy Anniversary, may there be many more years of joy. And welcome to Northern Ireland. Hope you enjoy it here.

If you’re planning on staying in the UK for a while and like visiting castles, you should look into getting a National Trust membership 😊

You two are so flipping cute!!! Looks like you had a fabulous anniversary 😍 xx

Happy Anniversary. You seem to be a lovely couple who are enjoying a great life. Long may it continue. Just hit our 30 and still best friends.

Should check out Newcastle in County Down, Mourlough beach and the Mourne Mountains.

I work as a Civil Engineer for the government in Northern Ireland and in order to help preserve this Castle I spent months abseiling down the cliff faces around Dunluce castle inspecting and repairing the crumbling rock face so we don’t lose anymore of this historic place, so glad to see people enjoying it, I grew very fond of it myself when I worked there 🇮🇪🙂

After Portrush, Newcastle is the other big seaside resort in Northern Ireland. It has a nearbye Castle "dundrum Castle"

When you guys come back to England, you should visit Yorkshire! You'll find some of the friendliest people in the UK and endless countryside ❤️ Happy anniversary 🎊

I’m sure you know that the girona treasure is in the Ulster Museum in Belfast- I think it is open at the minute but who knows how long it will be open in the current situation. It is free to get in and is worth a trip if you are in Belfast- it is in Botanic Gardens and there are plenty of cafes etc nearby and one in the museum itself. Love your video!

Dunseverick Harbour is a nice little spot for a walk - left from the carpark up the hill takes you on a walk towards the ruins of Dunseverick Castle and right from the carpark takes you on a coastal walk to White Park Bay beach where some cows like to have a walk sometimes! There is also a great coffee shop called Bothy which does amazing pizza as well!! Popular tourist spots: -Giants Causeway -Dark Hedges - Carrick- a -rede rope bridge - Mussenden Temple and Downhill Demnese - Ballintoy Harbour Other places: - Roe Valley Country Park, Limavady - Springwell Forest - Glenariff Forest Park - Walk along miniature railway from Bushmills that takes you to Giants Causeway passing Portballintrae (Runkerry) Beach Food/ Coffee Shop recommendations: - Lost and Found in either, Portstewart or Coleraine - Surf Shack, Castlerock - Sea Shed, Benone - Roughans Ice Cream, Portstewart - Culture Coffee, Coleraine or Portstewart - Coffee Hut, Portstewart - Warkes Deli, Portstewart - Tides, Portrush - Neptune and Prawn, Portrush - Yoko, Coleraine - Sorrisso, Coleraine - The Bushmills Inn, Bushmills - Mini Maedgen Grilled Cheese Van near the Giants Causeway - Hullabaloos, Coleraine

My favourite castle is your 1st castle, sending you a belated welcome to Northern Ireland and happy anniversary

Congratulations on your anniversary, and please enjoy northern ireland 🎈🎈👍👍

Dunluce Castle is a great place to view the Northern Lights - have watched many displays from there and each one different. Glad you had a lovely day for this visit.

Whit rocks is honestly so beautiful one of my fav beaches in Northern Ireland

Portrush, Castlerock, Portstewart that whole coast line is where I spent my childhood before we immigrated to Canada I love ❤️ it ☘️❤️☘️❤️

Congratulations 🥳 on your 4th anniversary!! Live, love and be happy 😊.

Guys I've just started getting into your videos but I've got a few recommendations, apologies if you've already visited & I haven't caught them yet. Just going off what I've seen so far I really think youd like my home town south shields, cheap accommodation, food & pretty much everything else. We dont have a castle but we have Roman ruins as we were a port town, we have a beautiful beach & are in 30mins travelling distance to Newcastle (amazing shopping, food & beautiful architecture.. has a castle & cathedral. The best nightlife in the UK when it opens back up) & very close to a place called York which I also think you would enjoy.. Scotland is to the north of us which is beautiful, so rich with history & amazing people. From my travels across the UK I really recommend Manchester.. its such a vibrant city, so multicultural & friendly, besides my beloved north east my favourite place to visit. Yorkshire is amazing, beautiful setting & really great people. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!

Happy Anniversary. Castles are so fun. My husband and I saw some when in England. Sure don’t have them around here. Victoria BC has some, maybe 100 years old 😊. Rain has washed away our smoke, so we can enjoy the outdoors too even without castles 😗

If someone has already mentioned this below please excuse. The Girona was a ship of the Spanish Armada sent to invade England in the 16th century. A combination of the British navy and bad weather caused the Armada to fall into disarray and defeat in the English Channel. Some of the Spanish ships found themselves on the northern side of the British and couldn't try and risk breaking through in a southerly direction to make it back home so they were forced to continue northwards up the North Sea, around the tip of northern Scotland and down the west coast of Ireland. Bad weather caught them out again and several were wrecked on the Irish coast including the Girona. It had earlier picked up survivors from an another shipwreck hence the 1,300 people on board. The Girona was eventually smashed against the coast of north Antrim and went down with great loss of life. The wreck was discovered in the 1960s and excavated by divers. Many items of high class male jewellery were found indicating that high status Spanish noblemen were on board. These items and others are on display in the Ulster Museum in Belfast.

happy 4th anniversary guys great video,so nice to see you out and about enjoying the local area.

Happy Anniversary Ravens! Here's to many more to come. Much love from Scotland. x 😄

Wishing you a very Happy 4th Anniversary Eric & Grace, a wonderful day by the sea in gorgeous weather, this truly was the perfect day for you both. xx.

I love seeing my country from a tourists perspective The MacQuillans also owned Bonamargy Friary outside Ballycastle which is worth a visit, just watch out for Julia MacQuillan, the Black Nun, our resident ghost

My maternal grandmother comes from Northern Ireland, Belfast, and seeing this makes me want to visit it even more now.

Hi! Happy anniversary! What a cool video, thank you so much!

Ah lovely, have literally never been inside Dunluce castle even tho I live pretty close to it lol, Kinbane castle near Ballycastle is also great and Ballintoy is the prettiest wee place

Yay! I love watching these videos! I live in Portrush!! Happy wedding anniversary!

Hi guys, just stumbled upon your content about Northern Ireland, and really loving your reaction to this wee country! I'm from Northern Ireland and can recommend to you a few places that you might not have known about: - There's plenty to see in Belfast (Titanic Quarter and Exhibit; Peace Wall, and Murals in East/West Belfast; City Hall and Stormont) - Fermanagh (Marble Arch Caves, Enniskillen town) - Londonderry/Derry (close to Portrush, called the maiden city because its walls were never breached by any invading forces. You can walk around the walls today - Also there's a great place for food along the river called Pyke N Pommes, go check it out!) - Armagh (called Cathedral city for its two cathedrals - one for the Catholic church and one for the Church of Ireland - both called St. Patricks) - Carrickfergus (where Carrickfergus Castle sits, built by the De Courcys in 1177) - County Down - Newcastle and the Mourne Mountains (to be honest not the biggest mountains in the UK nevermind the world but pretty stunning whenever you see them); Downpatrick (supposedly where St Patrick is buried; also there's the St. Patrick's trail where you will eventually see the statue of St. Patrick near a small village called Saul); the Ards Peninsula (My Home - used to be called Little Holland for its abundance of Windmills, only one remains today but the ruins of the windmills are scattered throughout the area; there is also the lighthouse in Donaghadee and Mountstewart House in Greyabbey which attract many tourists) - Northern Ireland is also known for its Coffee - there are tons of coffee shops around the country, many of which regularly change their supply to keep you coming back to try more! - Also check out the whiskey/gin distilleries - Bushmills is probably the most famous and is really good, but there is also Copeland Gin Distillery in Donaghadee and Echlinville Gin/Whiskey/Vodka Distillery in Kircubbin (both in the Ards Peninsula); also go and check out The Friend at Hand whiskey shop in Belfast, its a really cool wee off licence that also provides a mini museum experience telling you all about the history of whiskey in Belfast That's only some of the things you can go and see in Northern Ireland. If you ever need someone to take you to some of these places and give you a bit of a guided tour (along with some perhaps questionable info about the area) feel free to contact me and I will see what I can do to help!!

Happy anniversary to you both, may there be many more. Cheers!

You really need to come to North Wales; then u can really appreciate a castle 😄 Conwy, Caernarfon, Criccieth & Harlech to name a few 😁😁😁

If you're looking for another stunning and free castle then you've got to go to Kinbane Castle! The best coffee shop on the North Coast is Bothy, near the gorgeous Whiteparkbay. The most hidden breathtaking treasure of the North Coast though is undoubtedly Murlough Bay that is east of Ballycastle but west of Torr Head. On a good day you can see all the way to Scotland! It's a winding road but we'll worth it!

Lovely to see you guys out and about having fun and not stuck to a sofa. Looks like you had a smashing and super (and romantic) day for your anniversary. Congrats!

The lighting on this video was just perfect for you! Really, like REALLY good quality imagery caught there. Also, congratulations by the way!! 🤗

Happy anniversary Eric and Grace hope you had a lovely day . Loved your upbeat video 🤗🤗🤗😊😊😊

So glad you got the weather for your anniversary guys it just makes all the difference here... 😊

I'm from Northern Ireland and it's great to see people over enjoying it. Dunno if Cuilcagh is open at the minute but that's a lovely walk, down in Fermanagh. Cave Hill is a good wee dander too, gives a great view of Belfast on a nice day (not that we get too many of those).

Happy anniversary!!! 🤗

Hell yeah! I remember visiting as a kid and it was like Merlin and Arthur had just emerged from history.

Brilliant video. Loved it and the music to. You definitely need to do more of these out and about vlogs.

You did a great job showing us the castle I love your channel so much x

Happy Anniversary guys.., beautiful.. 😊

Makes me so happy to see Americans enjoy our castles. We take them for granted here we go as kids to see them and are like ughhhh boring🙄🙄 but Now that I’m older I’m excited to go enjoy them.

The reason the Northern Irish are so friendly to tourists is because we are always shocked that people want to visit our wee country and want them to enjoy it cause we know its great.

Happy Anniversary Eric and Grace again!! It’s nice to see you guys having lots of fun running on the beach. I love the history of what seems to be a “Fiery” Tale Castle 🏰 🔥. I’ve never been to the UK or even Ireland, but it seems like the amount of space they dedicated to fire 🔥 is just massive. 🤯

Many congratulations on the anniversary.

Great way to spend an anniversary. Happy Anniversary btw.

Have you tried an Ulster fry yet? Anywhere else in Northern Ireland you're planning to go to next?

Happy Anniversary guys!

So crazy seeing you guys standing up!😂 hope you had an amazing time

Congratulations, happy anniversary

Excellent sound quality, photography, editing, and story. Top marks.

Happy Anniversary..a good fry up is the best start to the day...NI is a very friendly place.

It's so good to see your legs after so long in waist-up lock-down videos. Lovely video. Stunning location. Interesting content Congratulations on you WA

Love you both, glad you had a great anniversary the beach you visited looks amazing. You should visit Cornwall in South West England the beaches and quaint Cornish villages are amazing. Take care and stay safe 😘😘

I really enjoyed that video. Thank you. You are such a lovely couple 🥰

Great video, and I like the captions.

I'm bloody loving seeing you both explore Northern Ireland. I found myself going "god so pretty" to things which I see everyday plus your knowledge is fantastic and I'm learning things I never knew xx

This makes me want to visit Northern Ireland so bad. I know my Mum wants to as well so whenever this pandemic does calm down somewhat I think that will be one of my first traveling spots to stop off at :) Glad you had a lovely anniversary and happy anniversary to you both :)

I live in Portrush, and it's always amazing to watch others enjoying my wee town! As you head away from Portrush and towards Bushmills, I'd highly suggest checking out the Distillery (if they're still doing their tours atm), and the Bushmills Inn for some amazing food. Also, happy anniversary!

Good vid, one of your best yet.

You guys would enjoy Carrickfergus Castle outside of Belfast. It’s one of the best kept castles in Europe. You can go inside and explore it

I loved the chilled out vibe of this video. Happy Anniversary! Looking forward to more of your adventures in Northern Ireland. Places to visit if they are open 🙈: - Titanic Museam Belfast - Carrickfergus Castle built 1100-1200AD - Gobbins Cliff Walk and Black Head Path, Whitehead - The Rinka Icecream and Toy shop, Islandmagee - Ulster Folk & Transport Museam, Cultra - The Mourne Mountains & Tullymore Forest Park & Silent Valley, Co. Down -Murlough Beach and Newcastle, Co. Down. - Planetarium, Co. Armagh - Explorius Aquarium, Portaferry

Congratulations Eric and Grace. I like these walkabout videos very much.

I hope yous visit the giants causeway, absolutely beautiful down there!! So many gorgeous spots to visit, a couple being the town of Ballycastle and Ballintoy harbour!! 😁😁

They are called the scaries great place love it there has a deep place in my heart

Lovely day. Thanks for inviting us 😘

Get yourself a good pint of Guinness when you’re here, Guinness doesn’t travel well across the world so you get the proper tasting stuff here

Awesome visit of Northern Ireland Wandering Ravens

If you are still up in that area you could check out the mussenden temple, Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge and the giants causeway, if you haven’t already! Also there’s a few attractions in Belfast! (Like the titanic quarters) Have a great time!...and hopefully the weather is decent enough for you😂

The Antrim Coast Road is a must.

I grew up in Portstewart which is right by Portrush, has a great beach btw! I now live in Belfast, you should come down and go to the pubs, experience the night life lol oh and the wall murals and Belfast Castle :) Great content x

Dunluce is fantastic. I was there a few years ago but it was a very different day. Grey and rainy. You had beautiful weather.

Hope you folks get over to Co. Fermanagh, lovely place ( lots of lakes and rivers) and lovely people.

RU-vid's algorithm recommended your videos and since I live here in Northern Ireland I thought it'd be interesting to see your what you think of our lovely wee country! I think you guys are both very adorable! If you like castles perhaps try visiting Carrickfergus (yes the one from the famous song!) and see the Norman castle there :D

Happy Anniversary to the both of you 😊 If you are looking for other great walks, maybe consider Castlewellan Forest Park, or Tollymore Forest Park at the side of the Mourne Mountains. Thanks from Belfast

As an English ex-pat living in Santa Rosa, Ca I really enjoy your videos. The 4K on this really was great. When you go back to England check out the boonies in Norfolk. Happy Anniversary when you filmed this.

Happy Anniversary to you both! ❤️ And what a place to be celebrating. Looks like you got a beautiful day to walk one of my favourite walks! I squealed when I saw Panky Doos! My daughter and I had such a cute date there last summer. If you go back, you should try the Banoffee pancakes! Very sweet, but so decadent! They have a gf version (which is what my daughter had) and I am sure they can make them dairy free as well!

Glad you are enjoying this beautiful land. As others have mentioned Carrickfergus has a castle and keep from 1180. But if you are driving take the Coastal Road from Portrush to Belfast. Also, if you haven't already, it is worth investing in a year's membership to the national trust, this well give you access to the Giants Causeway centre free (causeway itself is free to anyone), but take time if you can to hit Castle Ward and Mountstewart, county down. There is plenty to see and do here, also plenty to eat! Best coffee, inn my opinion, is Ground, you had one already, but the chain is local. Enjoy yourselves!!

Lots of great ideas from people on here of places to visit. May I also recommend in Co. Fermanagh the Marble Arch caves and the Cuilcagh boardwalk trail...if both are open. Also close to Carrickfergus theres the Gobbins path..again if open...on Islandmagee and if there visit the Rinkha for delicious home made ice cream

Glad to see you guys got some nice weather for your anniversary! The weather isn't always the most reliable! Also, well done in walking all the way there and glad you got to see White Rocks too! Other places to see in NI.. Have you heard of Glenariff Forrest Park? 👀😂

A lovely video and hope you enjoyed your 4th wedding anniversary which I believe is your Linen anniversary...so you are in the right place to buy some Irish Linen if you want to mark the occasion. Looks like it was a lovely day and thanks for the info on the castle too. As for the cheval....neigh, I will give it a miss thanks!

Happy Anniversary gays Portrush looked lovely . I went to Canterbury castle today 1000 years old and falling to bits them Normans builders hey......

While you're in Northern Ireland you should visit the Ulster American Folk Park, it's an outdoor museum near Omagh!

I enjoyed this. Was very much like a travel TV show

Definitely check out the Mussenden temple and downhill beach. The view is stunning and not far away from Portrush! Also Guilt trip coffee shop in Portstewart is the best cup of coffee around and the espresso biscoff donut is incredible! Enjoy your stay :)

My great grandpa was born in Co. Antrim, and I’m American from Oregon. I want to visit one day.

White rocks has lots of after party raves back in the day, loved it.

Please can you get a tv series. I really enjoyed this and you would perfectly suit something on BBC 2 on Sunday at around 7pm (but maybe 8pm, I'll leave that choice up to you😁😁). Keep up the good work

There are approximately 800 castles still standing in England alone. Wherever you go, you're never too far from one 😊

If you have more time in NI you should go to the Ulster folk museum and "transport" museum. The Mourne mountains and Spelga dams magic hill. Also as you're on the Antrim coast if Carrick a rede rope bridge is open you should definitely go see it

A little bit late, but happy anniversary. Hope there'll be many, many more. Also, having lived with a N. Irish partner for over 5 years now, you'll probably hear the word "wee" a lot. Not in a lavatorial sense but as the NI version of little or small. Nearly everything is wee......when you or I would "grab a quick coffee", the N. Irish would "take a wee cup". Same principle applies to almost anything lol.

Hi you two! And happy anniversary too! I think by my own 4th anniversary my wife and i were doing the same as you but without the YouTubing bit. We’d been exploring Asia though instead or Europe Try a bit of Irish Coddle (a kind of stew) Northern Ireland has a few distilleries you might want to visit plus some really cool places like The Dark Hedges, and if you were Game of Thrones fans there are plenty of set locations there that you can visit as well. Enjoy!
