👍👍 Went for my sister's birthday and it was sheer craic. Will and Anthony were absolutely brilliant and also hilarious. On a serious note, I'm disabled and they were totally able to adapt the experience to let me take part as well. Cannot recommend it enough and I'll be back.

Silent Valley Mountain Park
Park
👍👍 £5 entrance (which can be paid by card), but oh-so worth it! Firstly though, I do recommend visiting when the temperatures aren't too high & the sun isn't too warm. There isn't much shelter on the way to the dam, which makes it a harsh trip when too warm. Great walk though if you take the longest r...

👍👍 Glenariff forest park is a must see if you're visiting Northern Ireland. It's located just 1 hour drive north of Belfast and is very accessible by car. Arriving at the location I was surprised to see that parking for cars was £5 for the day and even more for vans, luckily when we got there the park...

👍👍 The Shepherd's Steps at The Giants Causeway is an exhilarating climb. With 4 children in tow my family and I made our way up in excess of 160 steps to the top where the views are worth every exhausting step! To think that shepherds in the past had to carry individual sheep up these steps is just inc...

👍👍 We spent New Year’s Eve at the Swallow Yurt and it didn’t disappoint. Derek had very kindly lit the log burner before we arrived and it made the yurt very toasty. A very peaceful and relaxing time was had. A perfect way to spend New Year or any other night of the year. We would highly recommend Will...
