Here lies a beautiful weaved structure of a pair of deer, one of the many fun and fascinating discoveries of the Garvagh Forest.

It's quite an unusual experience stumbling into a pyramid in the middle of an Irish forest! This pyramid was built in the 19th century as a burial chamber for Lord Garvagh and is a lovelly feature to the forest today.

Admission is free. There is no car traffic there. Only one bus runs from the parking lot to the destination at regular intervals. However, if you are fit, you should of course walk and explore the Giant's Causeway. Be it a quiet walk or an extended hike πŸŽ’πŸ€

Fun bridge to cross the Bush river. You may have to get off and walk across the bridge at busy times but it's worth it.

Great view of the Mussenden Temple. Make the most of it whilst you can, erosion is eating into the cliff meaning the temple will eventually fall into the sea.
