On the north-western coast of Northern Ireland, this spot offers breathtaking views of Downhill Strand, Castlerock beach, and the Atlantic Ocean while you picnic. There is a 2-mile circular walk that you can follow. The estate is known for its beauty, and it’s not hard to see why. In fact, it is part of the Binevenagh Area of Outstanding Beauty. This is a place where you’ll want to capture the sights, so don’t leave your camera at home.
