Ireland: Northern Ireland, Finally
Even if Ireland’s north coast weren’t the setting for Country Walkers’ new trek, the trip would still be one of a kind. Few walks pack as much history, geological drama, and fine whiskey into a single weeklong route. Hikers spend their first three nights based at Bushmills Inn in County Antrim, once a layover for horse-drawn coaches en route to Bushmills Distillery (licensed by King James I in 1608). Sample a dram from the bar’s private reserve, or hold out for a tasting with the distillery manager. From the inn you can hike the Giant’s Causeway, a collection of polygonal stone “pillars” created by a volcanic eruption that dips down into the sea.

Great review. I'd love to go to Ireland one day and it would be fun to do much hiking there. I've seen photos of the Giant's Causeway--definitely a bizarre place which would be interesting to see. I doubt the scale is truly captured in photographs.
