Causeway Coast Route

Level: Difficult

Distance: 155km (height gain: 1,720m)

This route traverses the coastline of Derry and Antrim linking Coleraine with Belfast. It follows the well-signposted National Cycle Network Route 93 and is ideally enjoyed over a over a few days, stopping to take in world-famous sights such as the Giant’s Causeway, Bushmills Distillery and the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. The first half is increasingly hilly, culminating in the tough climb over Torr Head, while the second half is much flatter.

Pit-stop: The route passes through many towns and is well served with places to stop. See discovernorthernireland.com or read our guide to driving the Causeway Coast here.
