Larne

We had every intention to visit Newgrange and Belfast today. However we learnt that Newgrange is only allowed to be visited with a tour guide (€45 each) and our Belfast campsite is actually located in Larne. We are planning on taking the same route back to Scotland, since it’s the shortest and cheapest route to and from Ireland. Larne is about an hours drive north of Belfast and the drive from Dublin took us nearly 3 ½ hours. When we finally arrived in Larne we decided to book our ferry tickets and not take the train into Belfast. We aren’t entirely disappointed with this decision, as we weren’t too excited about visiting Belfast and there isn’t much to see or do in Belfast either. We purchased our ferry tickets for tomorrow morning at 7:30. It will be a very long day, as we plan to drive to Haltwhistle, a town located along the middle of Hadrian’s Wall and on our way tour 3 EH sites around the area, as well as Hadrian’s Wall.
