Autumn is the perfect time to take a short break on Northern Ireland’s North Coast to relax and unwind.
Why choose the North Coast for your autumn break?
The North Coast has it all – from rugged, romantic coastlines to beautiful woodland and rivers; from stunning, award-winning beaches to magnificent heritage sites; not forgetting fabulous food, quality accommodation and a diverse range of activities and attractions. Something for everyone
Something for everyone. Nature at its best.
Experience a different North Coast in autumn – a wilder beauty than that of summer. Feel the bracing sea air, watch the waters swell and hear the waves crash as you walk along the beaches. The autumnal hues of Mountsandel Forest along the banks of the River Bann present a kaleidoscope of colour as you wander through carpets of crispy, russet leaves. The many forests and woodland paths of the North Coast are waiting to be explored. Don’t forget to take a trip to the magnificent Mussenden Temple and Dunluce Castle as you sweep along the Causeway Coastal Route.
If you feel you want to get away from everything and completely relax, why not indulge yourself and visit one of the local day spas or health farms and simply enjoy being pampered? You deserve it! Perhaps shopping is your preference – Coleraine is renowned for its unique mix of independent family-run businesses and top high street names and there are numerous cafes and restaurants in which to take a well-earned rest!
Visit the Causeway Speciality Market, held in the centre of Coleraine on the second Saturday of each month with an additional market planned for the 2011 Hallowe’en weekend. This is the largest, regular, outdoor market in Northern Ireland with stalls offering fabulous cheeses, home-baked speciality breads and cakes, organic fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, olives, spices, coffees and cookies and curry sauces. Why not pick up some Christmas presents with the quality crafts on offer, such as handmade jewellery, woodcrafts, candles and soaps?
