It is the perfect time for an motorhome trip to the United Kingdom! The weather in the United Kingdom is sometimes unpredictable and there can be quite a bit of precipitation.

Let's start with Ballintoy! There's really no reason why you shouldn't visit this village in Northern Ireland. The village became world famous overnight because it was used as the setting for the popular series Game of Thrones. As a result, tourists from all over the world flock to Northern Ireland to visit this place. You reach this picturesque village via a steep, winding road. Near Ballintoy you will find the Carrick-a-Rede Bridge and Gaint's Causeway. These are two attractions for your bucket list! The Carrick-a-Rede Bridge is a suspension bridge that connects the mainland with the island of the same name, Carrick-a-Rede. The bridge is suspended 30 meters above the rocks and from here you have a magnificent view! Note: from early November to February you can not walk across this bridge. The bridge is then removed due to adverse weather conditions. The Giant's Causeway should not be missed during your motorhome stop in Ballintoy. This rock formation on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is said that these rocks were created by a volcanic eruption some 60 million years ago, but there are many other legends about the Giant's Causeway...
