Celtic Quest

A wonderful opportunity to explore lesser known Dumfries and Galloway and Northern Ireland. Discover the "Rhins of Galloway", known for its dramatic coastline and Scotland's southernmost point before taking a quick hop over to Northern Ireland. Here, we venture into scenic County Antrim and the Walled City of Derry-Londonderry, offering a unique blend of heritage and modern charm.

Day 1 Travel to your hotel in Dumfries and Galloway.

Day 2 A leisurely day to survey this lovely peninsula. We include admission to The Logan Botanic Garden, part of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh's Living Collection, which is warmed by the Gulf Stream enabling plants from warmer climes to thrive. Spend time in Portpatrick, a picturesque seaside village with pastel-coloured houses and a stunning bay. 

Day 3 Time to leave Scotland and take the mid-morning ferry from Cairnryan to Northern Ireland. Enjoy some time at leisure in the city of Belfast or visit Titanic Belfast (cost not included), before proceeding to your hotel.

Day 4 Meet your guide this morning to savour the dramatic and stunning scenery of the Co. Antrim Coast. Admission to the legendary Giant’s Causeway Visitors Centre is included before a stop in Ballycastle, and its breathtaking views to Rathlin Island, Cushendun and all in between!

Day 5 History is all around you in Derry-Londonderry. Enjoy an introductory tour of the city before time at leisure, where traditional music spills out onto the streets from cosy pubs and museums tell stories of times past. In the afternoon, there is a tour and tasting included at the Walled City Brewery to savour.
