Tourism and Tourist Attractions in Northern Ireland as excursions from the seaside town of Bangor on Northern Ireland’s ‘Gold Coast’ (North Down).
Northern Ireland for me is the perfect road trip destination, with short distances between close-knit tourist attractions, well-maintained roads, and just so much sightseeing in between.
