グランジベグの天然記念物・トップ5

Portstewart Strand is a sweeping two-mile beach at the edge of town and forms a fitting finale (or start!) to the Causeway Coast Way. The viewpoint is from St. Patrick’s Well, a small spring long associated with local tradition.

Mountsandel Fort is a prehistoric fort dating to the Mesolithic period that was reused in the Irish Middle Ages (10th to 11th centuries). Located in Coleraine, County Derry, the fort consists of a huge grassy mound hollowed out in the middle, overlooking the River Bann. A must-see for lovers of mysterious monuments!

This statue is located right next to the parking area and is easily accessible. The statue represents this sea god from Irish mythology overlooking the channel toward Greencastle, and from here, you can observe the beautiful countryside that surrounds you.

Portrush National Nature Reserve is located on the Portrush headland and within the Causeway Coast Area of Natural Beauty, between Portandoo Harbour and the Blue Pool. The area has been granted a nature reserve due to its historic importance because of the fossils that you can see in the exposed rock on the seashore.

This is a breathtaking section of running along the Ulster Way between Castlerock and Manannan Mac Lir. You'll run along a narrow paved road that runs through Binevenagh Area of Natural Beauty with an expansive view of the north coast of Ireland to your right.

Manannan Mac Lir is mythical Irish sea god, said to be a warrior and king of the otherworld. The statue of this king is situated on a hill in the Binevenagh AONB, overlooking the channel toward Greencastle, providing some absoloutely breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside. After your energy-consuming journey up this hill you'll definitely need a rest, so take a seat and take it all in before heading back to your starting point.

You can walk along a well defined forest path from the small car park near Coleraine Courthouse and from the Fort, you can see great views of the Salmon Leap (Weir) and Coleraine.

The Binevenagh Scenic Route takes you up to the top of the mountain with spectacular views over Magilligan to Donegal. The statue of Manannán Mac Lir, the Celtic God of "The Sea and The Broighter Gold" is at a truly beautiful viewpoint, well worth a visit.
