Tips from the Community
Once a village with about 60 inhabitants, the last resident was a Cistercian monk who lived a life of solitude. Game of Thrones temporarily transformed Galboly into Runestone in the Vale of Arryn for seasons five and six of the HBO series.

For walkers, Waterfoot is a pleasant alternative to the main road, as it passes close to the beach and behind the dunes, with beautiful views and no traffic.

Nice promenade with tables and a nice walk in front of the beach. It is dangerous to swim but the view is nice.

Near Cushendall, this ruined church was built in the 13th century and the adjacent graveyard is also home to notable figures such as a doctor famous for pioneering the use of chloroform in surgery.

Beautiful little harbour located in the seaside village of Cushendun. The Mary McBrides across the road from here sells delicious food and real ales. There is also a café and convenience store nearby where you can pick up some snacks and take a respite on the sandy shore nearby.

The caves near Cushendun Beach formed over hundreds of millions of years and became famous after appearing in the hit series Game of Thrones. And the fact that they are a stone's throw from the pretty little village of Cushendun makes them a great stopover
