Antrim Glens and Causeway Coast 8-Day Moderate Tour (Hillwalk Tours)

Our Antrim Glens & Causeway Coast tours are situated in Northern Ireland, in the northeast of the island of Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. Our longest moderate tours start from Glenariff, also known as the Queen of the Glens, and then lead through remote upland and the legendary Glens of Antrim to the town of Ballycastle on the north coast. All our Antrim Glens & Causeway Coast itineraries then include hikes along the beautiful Ulster Way and Causeway Coast Way which connects Ballycastle and the town of Portstewart while some tours also visit tranquil Rathlin Island with its seabird colony. From Cushendall to Ballycastle, the trail follows the ‘Moyle Way’ section of the Ulster Way. On select tours the trail then takes you on a ferry journey to Rathlin Island where you can explore the beautiful island on foot. From Ballycastle, walkers can opt for the stunning Murlough Bay cliff walk near Fair Head, with views spanning for miles. Arriving back to Ballycastle, the trail then continues along the Causeway Coast Way trail to Portstewart, offering some of the best coastal hiking in the world. The total length of the different sections of these hikes are 45km (28 miles) for the Glens of Antrim (Moyle Way), various trails on Rathlin Island with a total length of 24km (15 miles) and almost 70km (44 miles) of beautiful hiking along the Causeway Coast. The trail visits many areas of outstanding natural beauty and world-renowned sights, such as the Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Dunseverick and Dunluce Castle and the oldest whiskey distillery in the world at Bushmills. And if that wasn’t enough, you will also pass many recognisable locations from the hit television show, Game of Thrones. From the coastline, you will get glimpses of the distant Mull of Kintyre in Scotland, as well as numerous islands dotted around the coastline.
