Romantic Breaks in Northern Ireland ideas

Have a picnic at Glenfoe Waterfall, near Larne port. If you’re planning to travel to Northern Ireland for a day then we would highly recommend Glenoe Waterfall. Located not far from the port of Larne, this beautiful location is a National Trust site and is only a short walk away from the charming village of Glenoe.

Well known for being one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Northern Ireland, it is the perfect backdrop to a romantic getaway in Northern Ireland. Why not sit and enjoy a peaceful picnic on one of the picnic benches, as you take in the views around you.

From there you may want to go on to Glenarm Castle, a stately home near Larne. Walk hand-in-hand around their beautiful gardens or visit their charming tea rooms for some delightful sweet treats. Whether this is a weekend break to Northern Ireland for couples or a longer stay there is plenty to do all year.

Romantic road trip – Causeway Coastal Route

Travelling with your car is one of the great benefits of travelling to Northern Ireland by ferry. The causeway coastal route, that runs along the north coast, is within easy reach of the port of Larne.

Pack a flask and some snacks so you can stop off at one of the view points along the way and enjoy the views with your favourite hot drink.

This beautiful tiny temple was built in 1783, and has stood the test of time!
