The Old Bushmills Distillery (the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery, 1608), the Giant's Causeway (10 minutes away), the Causeway Coastal Route, and a small County Antrim village with world-class whiskey and natural heritage

The Old Bushmills Distillery received its licence to distil in 1608 — making it the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery. The village sits at the heart of the Causeway Coast, minutes from the Giant's Causeway and the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge.

The Bushmills Distillery tour is genuinely excellent — the process, the history and the tasting. The Giant's Causeway is 10 minutes away — go at dawn before the coaches. Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge for the vertigo experience. The Bush River for trout fishing.
