Bushmills and Surrounds

Bushmills is a good base for exploring the Causeway Coast and has a few perks of its own! There’s a lovingly restored railway that links Bushmills to the Giant’s Causeway visitor centre, 2 miles away. The railways, combined with good eateries and a great, cheap hostel in town, is enough for many visitors to stop here.

The town’s crowning glory, Bushmill’s Distillery, is the oldest legal whiskey distillery in the whole world, having been granted a licence approximately 400 years ago. There are many tours each day, showing the production procedure, complete with a complimentary whiskey sample and tasting session.
