Named after its geology and best known for the dramatic sweep of its scenery, Northern Ireland’s Causeway coast has now earned a new accolade, as the UK’s favourite place for wildlife.
The coastline, which runs along the north-east of Ireland from Lough Foyle to the Glens of Antrim, was voted the nation’s favourite in a poll by BBC Wildlife magazine, beating the Isles of Scilly in fourth place, Scaur Glen in Dumfries and Galloway in third and, in an unexpected second place, Wimbledon Common in London.
