The Perfect Northern Irish Road Trip

A recent survey has sought to uncover what the ultimate Northern Ireland road trip means to most people.

67% of people surveyed were happy to go on a road trip lasting three to six hours, making the most of the trip by staying two nights or more.

Of all those surveyed, 22% said posting the perfect picture on social media was on their list of top road trip priorities.

Irish comedian Neil Delamere has explored all that the research has revealed, unearthing the must-see and do experiences.

These include the Giant’s Causeway Coastal Route and ‘The Taste Buds Trip’ – with some of the finest food and drink in the world where you’ll be spoilt for choice at every destination.

“I really was in awe of what Northern Ireland has to offer on my road trip, every corner you turn there is an amazing view or something new to experience, with excellent food and accommodation too,” said Neil.

For fans of the cult series there’s also ‘The Road Trip of Thrones’ (above) in which you can immerse yourself in a world of fantasy as you drive through the land of Westeros and Winterfell, official filming locations of Game of Thrones®

The ‘Momentous Mountain Trail’ allows you to experience the breath-taking drama and majesty of Northern Ireland’s mountains or ‘The Great Fermanagh Escape’ takes you on a drive through a haven of natural spaces where quality time together lasts longer.

“It has been really interesting to hear what people think makes the perfect road trip,” said Fiona Cunningham of Tourism NI, “For anyone who has never explored Northern Ireland, Neil’s recent trip showcases the many thrilling adventures that can be had, and the great places to see that are a little bit different and off the beaten track.”
