Ulster R's 11:27 - Jul 17 with 4556 views | SonofNorfolt | For those that know me or those that don't, I'll be exploring Nor'n this week. Flying over after Day One of the fourth test in Manchester I was hoping to go to Brandywell but UEFA ground restrictions looks that it is unlikely I'll get in. Still I'll be drinking in Derry on Thursday and Belfast on Friday evenings and you're welcome to drink me under the table. melh64@hotmail.co.uk | | | | |

Ulster R's on 12:11 - Jul 17 with 4383 views | kingsburyR | I'm over in Belfast for a three days at the turn of the month before heading down to Co Mayo as usual. A pal of mine lives in Belfast so I'll be seeing him. I'm planning on doing the giants causeway and that rope bridge thing also. Any other recommendations gladly received. Has to suit wife and daughters also! [Post edited 17 Jul 2023 12:12]

Ulster R's on 17:31 - Jul 17 with 3852 views | BklynRanger | Enjoy it Mel, I'm sure you will. I'll let your Belfast friend recommend, Kingsbury, I'm terrible with tourism suggestions. One thing on the Giant's Causeway though: I actually think the headland around it is more spectacular than the visitors centre itself. You can do a nice walk for an hour or two by driving further along and parking at Dunseverick Castle (only a castle in the loosest sense) and following the cliff top path. It ends at the the main tourist bit so you can't go wrong. Have a pint in the pub near the bus stop and then get the bus 10 mins back to Dunseverick to pick up the car. Only an Idea - your wife and daughters may veto it I know. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

The rope (Michael Carrick-a-Reed) bridge is well worth it. Scared the pants off me. Going across is easy. Going back isn’t. The Gobbins cliff face walk is meant to be superb. We’ve not been there, but will check it out next time. | |

It's actually quite crap. They don't have one actual artefact from the titanic. That's why they have to call it an exhibit rather than a museum. I preferred the titanic museum in cobh County cork | | | |

Two towns both making a fortune celebrating their part in the biggest maritime failure ever. We're a great little country. | |

to be fair, I would use the word 'commemorating' over celebrating, but in a city where tours of the Troubles' notorious murals and flashpoints are a five-star Tripadvisor experience...?! My Granda (who worked at H&W during WWII) used to joke that it took 3000 Belfast craftsmen to build the finest ship in the world, and one Englishman to steer it into an iceberg. Probably still too soon... | | | |
