	Frederick Hervey, Bishop of Derry, had an appetite for drama and chose a wild coastal headland for a mansion and temple. The mansion is in ruins but the landscape park remains. Follow paths through the sheltered gardens or along the cliff tops for views of the North Coast. On a cliff top, he built the circular Mussenden Temple as a library, imitating the Temple of Vesta in Tivoli.
	Traditionally fishermen erected the bridge to Carrick-a-Rede island over a 23m-deep and 20m-wide chasm to check their salmon nets. Today visitors are drawn here simply to take the rope bridge challenge! A short coastal footpath leads to the bridge. The geology, flora and fauna have won Carrick-a-Rede recognition as an area of special scientific interest. Fulmars, kittywakes, guillemots and razorbills breed on the islands close to the rope bridge.
	The Giant's Causeway, renowned for its polygonal columns of layered basalt, is the only World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland. Resulting from a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago, this is the focal point of a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has attracted visitors for centuries. It harbours a wealth of local and natural history.

	GLIDING AND PARAGLIDING The Ulster Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club fly at a number of sites in the area when conditions permit. On the North Coast, the cliff line from Binevenagh to Downhill provides a spectacular launch for the activity whilst inland at Benbradagh and Boviel just outside Dungiven provides great views over the Sperrins and beyond. Based at Bellarena, the Ulster Gliding Centre offers training at one of the finest soaring sites in the British Isles, located in a beautiful setting beneath the cliffs of Binevenagh on the shores of Lough Foyle.
	PARAKARTING AND KITESURFING Benone Strand is the only beach in the North that parakarting and kitesurfing is actively encouraged by the local council. Benone strand is ideal for many sports including surfing, windsurfing and kiting (either on the land or the water). Benone strand is exceptionally long and smooth with firm sand. It is common for a northerly wind to blow which gives the kite buggiers the full run of the beach. The Irish Power Kite and Sandyacht Association holds the winter series race series for kite buggies at Benone as well as the Irish leg of the Celtic Challenge, a race between Scottish & Irish kiters as well as other kite based events.
	FOOTBALL The Northern Ireland Milk Cup is one of the most prestigious youth football tournaments in Europe. The competition is based at Coleraine, County Londonderry and surrounding towns including Castlerock.
