HF HOLIDAYS LAUNCHES NEW CAUSEWAY COAST GUIDED TRAIL FOR 2021

THE VERY BEST OF THE NORTH IRISH COASTLINE OFTEN CITED AS THE 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD.

HF Holidays are pleased to announce the launch of a brand-new destination and trail to their UK collection of walking and activity holidays. This latest addition is a 7-night walking break to the Causeway Coast, home to the geological masterpiece of Giant's Causeway. Guests can enjoy the very best walks to discover the wealth of wildlife and wilderness on this stunning coastline.

Flanked by the wild Atlantic Ocean and lush green glens and valleys, the Causeway Coast gives walkers a taste of the very best of the North Irish coastline and passes some of the biggest tourist attractions in Northern Ireland. These include the Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and Rathlin Island.

Handpicked walks have been carefully considered to take in the geological wonder and world-famous UNESCO site of Giant's Causeway and provide plenty of time to explore the towering basalt columns (the tallest is 12m high and there are approx. 40,000 of these impressive hexagonal columns in total). One of the best walks in Northern Ireland which leads on to the clifftop ruins of Dunseverick Castle.

The wildlife and views this trail provide are breath-taking, especially on Rathlin Island. This is the northernmost point of the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and home to tens of thousands of seabirds including guillemots, kittiwakes, puffins and razorbills. Stunning walking with free time built in to enjoy the many activities on offer such as the RSPB centre or the lighthouse, take a bus tour of the island, or simply take the ferry back to Ballycastle and relax at the hotel. 

Unlike other holiday providers operating this trail, HF Holidays offer a guided experience on a full board basis, as well as an additional night's stay in Belfast, with a tour of the city with a local guide.
