Torr Head, Ballycastle, Co. Antrim - 360 Degree - A Stop on Our Causeway Coastal Route for a Walk
Torr Head has amazing views of the surrounding glens and over the sea to Scotland. We climbed to the old customs house which is now ruins and a decent climb for some amazing views! Watch the roads around here... so so so so so small and narrow! But worth the extra challenge as the views over the coast are impressive.
While tracking down history, Torr Head was very important for specific reasons, such as recording the passage of transatlantic ships back in the 1800s in order to relay the information back to the Lloyds of London. Torr Head was also considered the last hope for the Scottish clans beckoning aid from allies in Argyllshire.
Visiting this place might for some people appear like walking around in an empty place with some ruins but there are actually a lot of things to convince people to visit this place, such as the views it could offer over the Kintyre, as well as enjoying the crashing waves and the historical intrigue.
The ruins and walls of Altagora cashel which are found in Torr Head date back to the sixth century, which means that they appeared in the place long time age before the Christian church and the Irish clans came to the place. The place is really interesting to have a walk through and check even though it might not carry the same buildings and cultural museums which are found anywhere else.
From the things that Torr Head is famous with, there is the metamorphosed limestone and it is also indicative of volcanic rock sequences in Ireland and Scotland. This place ends up having the things that make it different and special, so never worry or even consider the idea of visiting the place because it carries its own history.
For me, this place definitely carry a meaning and visiting it will always be considered important to check the whole location, get the chance to enjoy the view that it offers, and at the same time see the ruins which are found there, but on the other hand and when it comes to the kids, this place might not be as interesting as it is for me, but they enjoyed walking around and also loved going up and down the rocks there - it ended up being a different experience which we enjoyed.
Torr Head is located in Ballycastle in county Antrim, Northern Ireland; Ballycastle is a small town that is found on the north-easternmost coastal tip of the island of Ireland at the northern mainland limit of the Antrim Coast and Glens are of outstanding beauty ( From Ballycastle, the Rathlin Island and the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland could be viewed and seen from the coastline, which as we have mentioned could be spotted from Torr Head.
Torr Head is located in Ballycastle in County Antrim, but there are other places and locations which we have visited as well and which you could also check and stop by ( such as going to check the sixth door that appeared in Game of Thrones movie and which was one of the different doors that are scattered around Northern Ireland which we have made different trips to reach them all and see them in real ( The door that is located in Ballycastle is found in the Fullerton Arms Hotel and lots of people tend to visit just to check the door and see how it looks like in the real world along with taking some pictures (
In addition to those places which we have been to, there are also other ones which we didn't still manage to make a trip to but which are considered from the attractions in Ballycastle that one have to check at some point. These locations include the Carrick-a-Rede Rope bridge, the Ballycastle Museum, Bonamargy Friary, Ballycastle Marina, Rathlin Island, Ballintoy Harbour ( Dunseverick Castle, Kinbane Castle, in addition to those tours which one could make across the coastal route or in the small town itself.
In every place you will visit in Northern Ireland or Ireland, you will definitely find something which you could do, a place which you could visit, and several things to check which might date back to a long period of time and which will be carrying history along with it. Torr Head might not carry the same importance on the list of things to do in Northern Ireland like lots of other places, but it is still considered one place to go and enjoy the views - it might be more important for the local residents who could plan a trip for it anytime and not those who might come to visit the country for a couple of days and will be more focused on checking those museums and other buildings in Belfast.
This was the trip to Torr Head which we have made, have you ever been there before? Tell us more about your experience if you have any.

Rhys Yip & Ming Tang's golf outing at Gracehill Golf Club, Northern Ireland
Gracehill Golf Course is considered to be one of the top 18 hole parkland courses in Ulster, if not all Ireland. Nestling in beautiful parkland outside the village of Stranocum near Ballymoney. It offers golfers the opportunity to sample American style water hazards as well as bringing many mature trees into play.
Some of the greens are strategically placed near to water hazards while other holes are played through mature woodland or over heathland making it one of the few courses in Ireland to offer such variety.
The land which Gracehill Golf Club now occupies has a unique history, which dates back to the time when James 1st succeeded to the throne of England. It has passed through many generations of owners who either bought or inherited the property, to its present time when the Gillan Family purchased it in 1971.
Run as a working farm until around 1991 when the present owner decided to turn it into an 18-hole championship golf course. The old estate buildings have been painstakingly converted to form an excellent clubhouse incorporating modern facilities. This former coach house and stable block overlooks breath-taking scenic views across the golf course and surrounding countryside, providing a warm and friendly atmosphere while still retaining the charm and character of its old heritage.
Golfers who wish to enjoy a challenging round in very rural surroundings will find Gracehill the ideal choice.

Sporting Masters Golf Day - Royal Belfast Golf Club - short video version
Former British Open winner Darren Clarke and Ulster rugby star Paddy Wallace have hosted a Sporting Masters Golf Day at Royal Belfast Golf Club.
The event raised funds for two charities - the Darren Clarke Foundation (which raises funds for cancer research) and Irish Autism Action.
Also lending support and playing on the day were Boyzone star Keith Duffy (patron of Irish Autism Action), Irish rugby legend Brian O'Driscoll and Mrs Brown's Boys star Paddy Houlihan.
Darren said: We are lucky we're having a great day with some fantastic weather - and hopefully we can raise a few pounds for the two charities.
Paddy added: I'm not feeling very confident about my own golf - but the turn-out has been great, with plenty of support from south of the border.
Boyzone star Keith Duffy - a patron of Irish Autism Action - has been involved with the charity for 12 years.
I have a little girl with autism and we have been working very hard to create the appropriate intervention and education for children with autism.
I'm delighted to be here and it's great to see all the support, he said.
