Trying to plan our Ireland Trip for July 2024. Picking up a car in Belfast and looking to traverse Northern Ireland counter-clockwise from Belfast. Trying to understand if the Antrim coast is doable in two days.
Bucket List: Carrickfergus, Gobbins Cliff Path, driving through the Glens of Antrim, Rathlin Island, Carrick-a-Rede, Giants Causeway, and Dunluce Castle.
Is this reasonable:
Day One: Leave Belfast at 9 a.m. and visit Carrickfergus, Gobbins Cliff Path, drive the Glens, go to Rathlin Island and overnight in Ballycastle.
Day Two: Carrick-a-Rede, Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle then onward to Derry for the overnight.
If the above is not realistic, would cutting out Rathlin Island make it more so?
