Chalk cliffs at Garronpoint
The Antrim Coast Road was constructed in 1842 and is one of the most spectacular roads in Ireland, hugging the coast for about 35 miles from Larne to Cushendall. Because of frequent rock falls along this stretch the road was closed in 2010 for eight weeks while safety nets were fitted to prevent rocks falling on to the road. The main A2 continues from just before Cushendun to Ballycastle on an inland stretch via Ballypatrick but it is possible to continue via the coastal route on the steep, narrow and winding Torr Rd to Torr Head, considered a challenge by 4x4 drivers and cyclists though not recommended if towing a caravan.

Black and White cliffs at Galboly, Antrim Coast Road
This is probably the most spectacular part of the coast road. The 80 million year old Chalk is overlain by 60 million year old basalt lava flows.
