by Steve – June 2025Ballycastle is a lovely spot on the north coast, with a quiet seafront, a small harbour, and views out to Rathlin Island. It has a friendly feel and enough pubs and cafés to keep you happy, especially if you're using it as a base to explore nearby attractions.
Is it easy to park here?
Is this a place good to visit on a rainy day?
