After 3 months of vanlife in Scotland it is time to move on. This week sees us embark on a journey over the Celtic Sea. We have a full week seeing some amazing natural wonders all along the coast of Northern Ireland.
With the most amazing Scottish road trip under our belt it feels like the right time to be embarking on a new adventure. We load La Bamba into a ferry and take her over the waters from Cairnryan in the south-west of Scotland to Larne in Northern Ireland. On arrival we turn right and keep follow the shore. Our first stop in Ireland is Cranny Falls, an impressive waterfall. We drive a little way up the coast and spend the night in Ballycastle, parked up by the beach. the next day we head off to the Dark Hedges, a filming location for Game of Thrones (the King's Road). That night we find another amazing park up on the cliffs over looking yet another stunning beach. Isabel does another day at work and we head off to Ballintoy, another filming location for Game of Thrones (this one was used for the Iron Islands). That night we drive to the village near the Giants Causeway ready to wake up early and find this stunning UNESCO world heritage site in the morning. The Causeway lives up to its fame, we find ourselves here alone and enjoy the power of the waves crashing over the alien landscape. After hiking back to the van we drive off to Mussenden temple, a stunning building perched on the edge of a cliff. At the base of the cliff we find a beach we can drive the van onto, so we decide to enjoy a coffee with sand between our tires. After a short break we drive off to Ness wood to see Northern Ireland's tallest waterfall. With evening drawing in we head for Derry/Londonderry. Here we explore the city and learn about its troubled past before heading into a pub to have our first Guiness on the island of Ireland. That evening we head back to the van to watch Derry Girls and call it a day.
This is where our jam packed first week of our new series ends.
Wow we did so much this week, and you can probably tell we are loving our time over here so far.
If you liked the video please give us a like, it will make Tom smile.
Next week we cross into the Republic of Ireland and start the absolutely enormous Wild Atlantic Way. Make sure to subscribe because the first county, Donegal, has truly blown us away!
Thank you all so much for watching and liking. It is so nice chatting with you all in the comments.
