The beauty of slow travel is having the space to discover local magic otherwise easily missed. Chatting with a farmer about some quirk of local history. Following a tip for the best seaview walks or trad music sessions or whatever you’re having yourself. Gold-dust moments like these unfurl on self-guided routes along Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coastal Route and Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, which pick up at Derry~Londonderry.
We asked locals along this northern coastline for their favourite gems on a route from the charming seaside town of Ballycastle, County Antrim, to the buzzing surf town of Strandhill, County Sligo.
