The coast road runs most of the way right round Northern Ireland from Portstewart beach to Carlingford Louth and it’s nearly always on the coast, a great run and all suitable for your camper as it’s not too big. The mourning mountains and the Sperrins on the way to Fermanagh and the lakes all contain plenty of roads and stopping off points. Titanic centre in Belfast and Knockagh monument near Carrickfergus are worth the trip giving great views as far as Scotland and Cumbria on clear days. Try to fir in a day at Stormont parliament buildings and get a guided tour for some excellent historical info.

@@darrmont The Seacoast Road runs from Limavady, via Benone, almost to Castlerock. From Portstewart to Belfast it is called the coast road, but that is slang. Never heard of the stretch from Belfast to Newry being called the coast road, but maybe that's evolved. In places it does not run anywhere near the coast. The coast road in Northern Ireland, does not cross the border. That is the Irish Republic.

@@Mike7O7O Yes Mike, I forgot about the bit to the west of Portstewart leading to Londonderry which is a lovely bit of road too. (The railway from Portstewart to Londonderry is especially good as it runs on the coast a good bit of the way too) To the east of Belfast the road runs down the Ards pneninsula pretty close to the coast and right on it for a lot of the time and you cross from the peninsula by ferry to the south side and pick up the coast south of Dundrum and it's a good run the whole way to Greencastle with a lot of it on the coast and then get a ferry across Carlingford Lough to Greenore and Carlingford and on south if you want.

@@highlands2hammocks You can add Shropshire to the list of places where "travellers" rock up on other people's land (often on a Bank Holiday, so they know they've 3-4 days before they get moved on) and leave their disgusting mess behind.

Northern Ireland does not have the same problems with the traveller community that the rest of the U.K. has. Here they do keep themselves to themselves because they would be, very quickly, removed from anywhere they set up camp by the locals rather than any council or police.

If you had walked around the coast at Ballintoy you can hop over a few styles and see Elephant Rock at White Park Bay. Also, where you had parked up. If you had walked up to where the cows were, provided they weren’t skittish and no calves, you can go through that gate and see Downhill House and Mussendun Temple, not sure if you can reach them from there though.

The rest of that A2 coastal road is epic. Avoid Torr head road. I'd recommend you go there, but not in a motor home. There is a nice little coastal path (if it's open) at White Head it's cut into the cliff side, when you get down that far. The "Ard's Peninsula" East coast is littered with motor and caravan parks. When you get to Portaferry you can take the ferry across.

Castlerock(I mean Downhill) beach is the other side of PortStewart and you don't have to pay for that. You do not have to pay for The Giant's Causeway either. You have to get the train from Coleraine to Derry just for the views. It runs along the beach and is one of the best in Europe I think. Then get back in your van and go to Derry past the Limavady windmills and lok at the lough. Amazing views

Running ac on batteries is going to be problematic, will drain the batteries pretty fast. While with a decent lithium setup its possible, you’re not going to be able to recharge it in time the next day, needs too much solar and drivng to fully charge in a single day. Basicly ac is ehu only, or you need to be very carefull. Might be a option to check for an evaporative aircon like a viesa holiday iiis. Works depending on ambient humidiy, so not as powerfull as a normal airco, but still does a pretty good job and can be run offgrid on 12v. Still recommend getting a decent lithium battery anyway

Hi folks. Hope you're enjoying you travels around beautiful Northern Ireland😍 And glad to see the weather's playing its part for you too😎😎 While we live just across the border in north Monaghan - you'll HAVE to come South on your next trip😊 - we would highly recommend the Cuilcagh Walk, aka the Stairway to Heaven in Co. Fermanagh for a visit. Parking could be a problem at weekends but you'll br fine mid-week, esp. as you are early risers/arrivers at these attractions. Could we perhaps prevail on you, or any other Scottish followers on here to recommend a nice spa -type hotel break for 2ish nights, anywhere in southern/SE Scotland mid-week next week? We'll be travelling in a MH very sililar in size (and lay-out 😊) to Ellie, so would need somewhere to park while we're living it up inside the facility. Its a big birthday for my wife here and we were inspired by similar stop off's you have made while touring your home Country💚💚

If you think vans suffer look at what happens to dogs it’s possibly the worst place in Europe. I tried bringing a dog into a shop in Co Donegal and got screamed at yet there were no other customers in the shop and it had only just opened AND it was the middle of winter so customers would have been few. It’s generally not against the law North or South but business personal preference but eventually tourism must suffer.

Agree with Micheal Scott. Click bait that could cast a bad light on Ireland. Unfortunately click bait is rife And we are getting the silly thumbnails to further entice people to click on. I've stopped " clicking on" when i detect such dishonesty and unsubscribe.

Have to agree with the comment about your thumbnail. You had to wait until till a National Trust employee opened a height barrier that prevents non members from piling into an car park area which has limited space and this constitutes the whole of N Ireland is closed to van lifers. Having followed you guys and your adventures for a while now I’m really disappointed that you chose this thumbnail and the wording to introduce your subscribers to our wee country.

@highlands2hammocks 2 жыл бұрын
Sorry you feel like that Gary, however, we always try to show the reality of the places we visit and the number of height barriers were an eye-opener to us. That being said, what we aim to do with thumbnails such as this is bring people with a pre-existing bias to our video and convince them that in fact, both NI and Ireland are incredible places for vanlife 😁 we have loved our time over here and always say so in our content

Pity about the clickbait title. That's a cheap shot and not representative of your experience. The clue is in the name. You're in a campervan. You're very welcome in camp sites, of which there are many, with the facilities you desire. Car parks are for.......... yes, you guessed it......cars. Two different names. Two different purposes. How much simpler could it be. I hope you do the right thing and change your title. It is misleading and unfair. Given all the efforts made by public and private sectors here, to welcome visitors. A little research would've explained the above. Or do you like to just turn up, hope for the best, then cry when everything isn't how you wanted for yourselves.
