The County Antrim region

This is the heartland of the unspoilt North Coast, home of the giant Finn McCool, Dunluce Castle and Bushmills Distillery. The Anvil Cottage is close to major surfing beaches on the North Antrim Coast such as White Rocks Beach, Portrush West and East Strands and White Park Bay. It is also close to Ballycastle where you can catch a boat to Rathlin Island,popular with bird watchers, geologists, botanists, deep sea divers and sea anglers. July/ August is generally bright and pleasant without becoming unbearably hot and in Autumn/Winter you can experience the crisp coolness of the most northerly aspect of Ireland and the awesome power of the coastal swells before returning to a roaring open fire in Anvil Cottage to recover with a hot toddie and hot toasted soda bread.

Dervock area

The area hosts the British Open Seniors at Royal Portrush, the North West Motor Cycle race and the Milk Cup International Football Tournament. The Ould Lammas Fair is an annual favourite as is the Portrush Air show.
