Eat and Drink:
David and Olive can recommend many places in the area where you can enjoy Irish hospitality, according to your taste buds and wallet. There are a number of pubs in Bushmills as well as a chinese takeaway and fish and chip shop.
Local attractions:
The park is well situated for Bushmills Whiskey Distillery about 500 yards away, which is open to the public. The UNESCO site of the Giant’s Causeway is 2 miles away. Dunluce Castle, a medieval castle on the north Antrim coast is just 3 miles away. Seven miles away is Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge that traverses a wide chasm in the rock, but you need a head for heights if you want to cross it! www.discovernorthernireland.com

Some pitches are by the lake
There’s plenty for kids to do too
Plenty of green space
Both my husband and I stayed on this site in 2010 and can fully recommend it. It is exceptionally well kept and the owners are lovely people. Excellent spot for touring around some of Northern Ireland’s beauty spots. Will be returning again (soon I hope)
