N Ireland

Belfast Titanic Museum, Belfast, Northern Ireland

The birthplace of the Titanic

The tragedy of Titanic’s sinking was felt across the world but, in Belfast, the city lost the child it had created. Belfast remembers in a new memorial.

Giant's Causeway, World Heritage Site, Northern Ireland

Walking in the footsteps of giants

Some people would have you believe the Giant’s Causeway was formed by molten basalt but the story of the two fighting giants is much more fun!

Game of Thrones tour, Belfast, Northern Ireland

Winter has already come… to Belfast

If you have ever wanted to experience the Game of Thrones world for yourself, a road trip around Belfast can get you to some of the sets used in the show.

Belfast peace wall murals, Northern Ireland

So, this is what peace looks like?

It’s been 20 years since the troubles officially ended in Belfast, but the divisions in the city are still clear for everyone to see.

Belsonic Festival, Belfast, Northern Ireland

Belsonic waves

In a city with music in its soul, it’s only appropriate that a music festival of evening concerts runs all week long.

Rathlin Island, Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland’s northern island

At the very top of Northern Ireland is the country’s only inhabited island. Just 120 people live there – so why am I visiting it?
