Awaken your Giant Spirit

  1. View from atop Slieve Binnian in the Mourne Mountains, County Down. A large rock formation in the foreground with green fields as far as the eye can see in the background.

    Of course there are more than 8 ways to enjoy a short break in County Down. After all this is the home of the Mourne Mountains, Murlough Beach, Strangford Lough, Hillsborough Castle, Castle Ward Demense (aka Winterfell) and a world class championship golf course or two. 

  2. Male and female couple walking through the hills at Gortin Glen Forest Park in County Tyrone. Miles of green fields and the Sperrin Mountains can be seen in the background.

    Sometimes all you need is the air that you breathe and a bit of room. With over forty miles of wide-open spaces and unspoilt natural beauty, the Sperrins are the ideal place for slowing down, getting away from it all and sucking in the fresh air.

  3. Downhill Beach on the Causeway Coastal Route. Mussenden Temple sits on a cliff edge in the background while an NI Railways train passes through a tunnel.

    Travel writer, actor and explorer, Michael Palin once described the train ride between Derry~Londonderry and Coleraine as “one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the world”. Now who in their right mind is going to argue with a member of Monty Python. Certainly not us, so let’s hop on board and relax and enjoy the stunning views along this short stretch of train track.
