You\u2019ll walk in the footsteps of giants when you visit this mysterious natural icon of Northern Ireland. With around 40,000 hexagonal basalt rock columns shooting out of the sea (some are almost 12 metres!), the UNESCO listed Giant\u2019s Causeway is one of the most surreal natural phenomenons in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While legend says the Causeway was created after a fight between two giants – the Irish Finn McCool and the Scottish Benandonner – scientists say it was formed around six million years ago by basaltic lava flowing through the earth. Whatever you believe, your visit to the Giant\u2019s Causeway will be an incredible experience and will help to conserve this precious natural treasure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ulster American Folk Park<\/a> is an incredible open-air museum in Omagh that tells the story of Irish emigration. You\u2019ll discover what it was like for the brave emigrants who sailed across the Atlantic in search of a new life in America in the 18th and 19th centuries. There are more than 30 restored buildings to explore, including farmhouses and shops. Walk down the lively main street, board the Brig Union ship, and discover traditional crafts like wool spinning, forge work and woodcraft. You can even wander the herb garden to learn about old herbal remedies, and be sure to taste the traditional Irish and pioneer American foods like freshly baked soda bread and pumpkin pie. Delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to get immersed in the spectacular scenery of the north of Ireland?

With lush green hills and jagged cliffs huddling around the golden sandy beaches and shimmering blue waters, Achill Island offers everything from hiking to kayaking and surfing. There\u2019s even a dose of history, with ancient forts and tombs and the Deserted Village. Whether you meet the sheep perched on the hillsides, indulge in fresh Atlantic seafood, or dive into the ocean, Achill Island is sure to be one incredible soul-stirring experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History buffs will adore their visit to Westport House<\/a>, the stately 18th-century home with a fascinating past. It was built, owned and lived in by the Browne family for over 300 years until 2017. They are direct descendants of the formidable 16th-century Pirate Queen, Grace O\u2019Malley, and the house was actually built on the foundations of one of Grace O\u2019Malley\u2019s former castles. There\u2019s even still a part of her original castle that can be viewed by visitors today, along with the rest of the fascinating, original rooms and grounds. When you travel with Trafalgar, you\u2019ll have the chance to meet the current owners, the Hughes family, over dinner and learn all about the history of this incredible house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love pottery? You can\u2019t miss visiting Belleek, a quaint village that\u2019s home to one of the oldest working potteries in the world. Established in 1857, the Belleek Pottery Visitor Centre<\/a> has been producing fine china for centuries, and today produces more than 100,000 pieces every year. Each piece passes through 16 pairs of hands, and you\u2019ll get to tour the pottery and see the master craftsmen at work. After your tour, don\u2019t forget to visit the tearoom, where you\u2019ll be served on fine Belleek tableware as you look out over the gorgeous Lough Erne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
