And off we go

Having visited the Causeway we continue round the scenic coast route to the spectacular Torr Head which gives excellent views of both the Mull of Kyntyre in Scotland the island of Rathlin, just of the coast from our destination, Ballycastle. Toro Head is worth a visit just for the views surrounding it. Admittedly the narrow roads are winding and difficult to negotiate but it is worth the trouble, [particularly if the weather is kind.] Toor Head's had a claim to fame in the 1800s as it was from here that one recorded the passage of ships, crossing the Atlantic and this information was then relayed back to Lloyds of London. After a short stop I recommend we continue our trip eastwards towards the quiet little seaside resort of Ballycastle. I love this photo of the town square. The town today is a holiday resort with many second homes for holiday purposes and in the summer also has its share of holiday makers. Look for accomodation on the sea front as there are a number of inexpensive but good hotels there. You will need a night's sleep because tomorrow we are off to Rathlin Island, the only inhabited island 20 minutes off the coast by with a service run by the Rathlin Island Ferry Company.
