Amazing Video About Northern Ireland; Some great places to visit in Northern Ireland/Places to see
Places to visit in Northern Ireland - we included some of our favourite locations all across the North ( of Ireland ) also known as NI :-) There are so many more attractions to visit - but these are some of the locations we were lucky enough to visit recently.
Where have you been? Anywhere we should have included in this list? ** Award Winning Video**
We have been asked what are the best places to visit and what are the best things to do in Northern Ireland. This video is the start of a collection we will produce to answer this question. Some are traditional tourist attractions - others places locals tend to only know about.
For all those who once thought that Ireland is not filled with places they could visit, we are here with this video to prove them otherwise; Ireland is actually filled with lots of hidden gems that might not even fit in the days you are staying in the country; there are a lot of things to discover and visit in order to make your experience complete.
There are some general tips related to Ireland which we want to share with you if you are putting this country as your next destination. First of all, there are those beautiful days with the good weather but mostly there is the normal gloomy and rainy day in this city, so having something to protect you from the rain and warm you if you are cold is considered a must.
In addition to the weather, you should know that one of the interesting ways to get to know Ireland is through taking any of the hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus tours because in addition to the drivers who will most probably provide good information, these buses bring you too close to the landmarks that you want to visit, and at the same time might take you through streets which you have never considered walking through because you know nothing about or would have reached your destinations through using the underground.
And most importantly, make sure that if you are going to travel in winter - which is something we do not recommend because it would be very cold - you will need to make the right plan because the day is so short in winter and you might not be able to see all the things you planned to go to during the same day. Know where the landmarks are, choose those which are close to one another in order to visit during the same day, and always check when they open their gates and when they close in order not to end up going to a place that has already been closed before you could arrive.

Dundrum Castle Co. Down - Norman Castle in Northern Ireland
Dundrum castle is a Norman Castle in the town of Dundrum outside Newcastle on the Belfast road. Dundrum Northern Ireland has seen plenty of activity in its years - there is a known failed siege in 1205 - but it was captured by King John in 1210 and has had improvements and extensions through its different owners times. It is a stop off on some Game of Thrones tours now and it is an excellent place to spend half a day and have a picnic.
First of all, people should not get confused between Dundrum Castle in Northern Ireland - the one in our visit - and Dundrum Castle in County Dublin. Dundrum Castle in Northern Ireland is situated above the town of Dundrum, County Down, Northern Ireland.
This castle was constructed sometime near the beginning of the 13th century by John de Courcy, following his invasion of Ulster. Since it was built in a time of invasions and wars, Dundrum Castle was intended to be on a rocky hill in order to provide good views south over Dundrum Bay and the Mourne Mountains, and west towards Slieve Croob and the plains of the Lecale to the east; it was actually built in order to control the access into Lecale from the west and south.
There is a long history behind Dundrum Castle and those who were controlling it. After John de Courcy, Hugh de Lacy strengthened the castle with a massive round keep - which stood at least three storeys high - which later on became very popular. Later in 1210, the castle was captured by King John who in 1260 added a gatehouse that is composed of two square towers on the south east side of the enclosure.
After that time, Dundrum Castle was then owned by different people through out its journey and now it is open for the public who could come inside and enjoy knowing more about this beautiful castle and at the same time enjoy the scenery from up there - it is definitely one of the castles in Northern Ireland that one should visit.
There are different places in Northern Ireland that were used for taking scenes related to the Game of Thrones movie series ( and Dundrum Castle was one of them since it appeared in one scene. Nowadays, there are tourists - who happen to be big fans of Game of Thrones - who plan to travel to Northern Ireland in order to visit those different locations related to Game of Thrones movie series (
In addition to Dundrum Castle, there are other castles in Northern Ireland which could be visited, such as Dunluce Castle ( Enniskillen Castle ( Carrickfergus Castle, Belfast Castle ( Monea Castle, Dunseverick Castle, Harry Avery's Castle, Audley's Castle, Kinbane Castle, Tully Castle, and others which we ourselves might still know nothing about or which we haven't stopped by yet. Choosing which one to visit will depend on two important factors; first of all, you should choose those with a rich history and those which are considered the most famous; secondly, you should choose those which will be close to where you are going to be because you might end up choosing some which are far away and which you will not have the time to go and check them up all by yourself.
There are lots of different things that one could do and lots of attractions to see in Northern Ireland ( but again, it is important to choose the places according to where you are heading and where you are staying. Since you will be visiting Dundrum Castle in Northern Ireland then there are some suggestions out there which we should recommend, such as Kilbroney Park ( Tollymore Forest Park ( the Newcastle Library, Murlough National Nature Reserve, Mount Panther Farm Park, Castlewellan Forest Park ( as well as other places which are a little bit farther than those but which people could actually visit while being around Dundrum Castle - a good plan will be with exactly looking at the attractions and their locations on the map is important to know how much time you will need to reach your destinations and get back home once again.
Northern Ireland is filled with lots of historical monuments and buildings which one should visit in addition to those natural views and destinations that could easily take the breath away - even we, Irish people, feel amazed whenever we come across any of these things and places, we could definitely say that we are proud of our country :-)

Newcastle County Down - Road Trip Around Northern Ireland
First stop was Castlewellan Forest Park - what a great place - gardens, forest, lake and maze! Then we headed from Castlewellan to Newcastle - lovely beach, but was windy! Then to Tollymore Forest Park after an ice cream and Percy French's! On the way back to Belfast - we found Dundrum and it's amazing castle... Great day out and the sun was shining the whole time! :-) (
On this road trip that we were on, we stopped at different destinations. The first stop to be at was the Castlewellan Forest Park which is located in Castlewellan, Northern Ireland, and contains the National Arboretum of Northern Ireland that started back in 1740, bringing trees from different parts of the world, such as Asia, North and South America, as well as Australasia. The Castlewellan Castle which is also found in the same place is believed to be built back between 1856 and 1858 by a Scottish Family since it is a Scottish baronial castle that overlooks the Castlewellan Lake. The most famous thing about this forest park is the peace maze which contains 6,000 yew trees that were planted by volunteers from Northern Ireland and was considered the longest permanent hedge maze until 2007 (
Moving on to the second stop in our road trip, we reached Newcastle. Newcastle is known to be a small seaside town in County Down, Northern Ireland, that lies on the Irish sea on the foot of Slieve Donard, one of the Mourne Mountains, which is known for its sandy beach. The most important thing for this town is trying to promote itself as the activity resort in Northern Ireland, which is believed to be effective due to its location at the foot of Slieve Donard. We enjoyed our part of the day there although it was a little bit windy - we were surprised because the sun was up all the day!
The third stop we managed to make was at the Tollymore Forest Park; Yes, that is exactly where two different scenes in the Game of Thrones movie series were taken. So in addition to being curious about stopping at these points were the movie was once taken, it was also interesting to come to this forest in general in the first place. Tollymore Forest Park is considered a historical place since it is the first state forest park in Northern Ireland that is located at Bryansford, near the town of Newcastle in the Mourne and Slieve Croob area. There are 16 different bridges inside this park to allow people to cross over the Shimna River that flows through the park - where two different scenes of the movie were taken by two of them. For those who are willing to visit this forest park, there are four different walking traits to choose from - placed on the map - and which will tell you which on is considered the longest and which one is the shortest (
The fourth and final stop to be at was the Dundrum Castle which we stopped by on our way back to Belfast - it is important to differentiate between Dundrum Castle in Northern Ireland and Dundrum Castle in Dundrum, County Dublin. Dundrum Castle is situated above the town of Dundrum in County Down. This castle was constructed and built by John de Courcy on the top of a rocky hill that provides fine views south over Dundrum Bay and the Mourne Mountains, and lands west towards Slieve Croob and the plains of Lecale to the east; since it was originally built to control access into Lecale from the west and south (
During this road trip and passing by all those different places and stops, all what we managed to say was a big WOW! The green areas, the old buildings, the rivers, the mountains, and the overall views which we managed to receive every single time we stopped and looked around was really magnificent, we didn't want to go back home and leave all these views behind, but we had to :-)
You might choose to head to one place only, like checking the Tollymore Forest Park ( along and then coming back another day to visit the Dundrum Castle ( and you could take the road trip we have taken and fill your day with lots of amazing scenes from different places and destinations which are not far from one another.
There are a lot of beautiful places in Northern Ireland - some we managed to visit while there are still lots of other places which we haven't been to yet (
Since we have visited this place in which some shots from Game of Thrones were taken, you could still visit other locations where this movie series was filmed ( which happen to be in Northern Ireland. There is the Perchy French ( the Dark Horse Bar in Belfast ( and Portstewart beach (
