A village famous for its port!

Ballintoy is 28 km northeast of Coleraine and 8 km west of Ballycastle. Picturesque and authentic, it’s one of those nice little villages with colorful streets, a charming, intimate harbor and hospitable inhabitants.

The place is quiet and has a lot of charm.

The star of the area is undoubtedly its small port. It’s a pleasure to stroll around, in a pleasant atmosphere of peach and iodine.

For the record, the port was used as a filming location for the HBO series “The Iron Throne”. He represents Lordsport on the Isle of Pyke (Iron Islands). The port is used as early as season 2, when Theon is baptized, reaffirming his loyalty to his family. The port of Ballintoy was also used in season 4.

Don’t hesitate to stop and stroll along the quay: it’s a real change of scenery! Finally, push open the door of one of its Irish pubs, sample the village’s local catch, or get in touch with the locals, who have a certain taste for lively pub conversations!

Finally, Ballintoy is just a stone’s throw away from an unforgettable, must-see attraction! You can’t pass through the village without visiting the Carricj-a-rede bridge! It’s a rope bridge suspended 30 metres above the void! Below: the ocean and the rocks!

The bridge connects a small island, Carrick Island, and promises exceptional thrills! It’s enough to make even the most courageous dizzy!
