Hired a car today (7 seater) to take us all up North to see 'Carrickfergus Castle' and the 'Giant Causeway'.
We headed up the coast and the landscape was gorgeous.
First stop '
Carrickfergus Castle'. We had great fun exploring the castle and listening to a short animated video. The original castle was built around 1177 by John de Courcy. The Outer Ward was added around 1250. Hannah was horrified to hear that during one of the battles they ate some of their enemy.......

Hot chocolates and coffees then hit the road again to the
'Giant Causeway'. First we stopped and walked down to the rope bridge. We left Georgie at the top and headed down. I don't like heights so there was no stopping for photos on the rope bridge but great views. Huffing and puffing we walked back up. Hannah and Chloe ran up it......

Back in the car and off to the rocks. These are an amazing natural phoneoumum.
