Cows and calves cause a traffic jam in Antrim.
Derry is a walled city. The walls were built 1613-18 and form about a 1.5km circuit of the inner city.

The Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. For over 350 years fishermen have strung a rope bridge 30m above to sea to allow them to access the best places to catch migrating salmon.

The Giant's Causeway was interesting and busy.

A nice peaceful waterfall.
