I spent three days travelling this giant of a hiking trail — you don’t know what you’re missing

Jim Gallagher shares his experience on Ireland's Northern coasts

Hiking the glorious Causeway Coast Way along the northern tip of this island is a bit like a United Nations exercise.

There are people from all over the globe walking up and down the stunning clifftops between Ballycastle in Co Antrim and Portstewart, Co Derry. They might only do a small section of the 52km trail but they are there in abundance. There are Americans galore, Germans, French, Spanish, a lot of English and, quite naturally, many people from Northern Ireland.
