A holiday in Northern Ireland is far more than a city break in Belfast, although that's a great place to start. The Causeway Coast sets the tone, with basalt cliffs, hidden coves and the Giant's Causeway at the end of it all, while the Mourne Mountains, Antrim Glens and lake-threaded Fermanagh offer a completely different pace inland. Book a self-catering cottage and you've got the run of all of it, at your own speed.
