Ulster's Finest

There were far too many good things about our recent holiday in Northern Ireland to fill only one blog. I have already written about the outstanding north Antrim coast and mouth-watering food at the Bushmills Inn Hotel. This one is a bit of a mix of the other features not to be missed.

Fresh seafood, prime meat and an extensive range of freshly baked breads are going from strength to strength as the taste of Ulster link below describes

Of course no trip to this area is complete without sampling the superb smooth and creamy guinness.

Then there is the Bushmills distillery with the excellent value £7 tour complete with a tot of your choice in the bar at the end of the visit. There is a great upmarket souvenir shop as well.

Extensive types of traditional cheeses are a main feature.  I loved the selection served in The Bushmills Inn www.bushmillsinn.com with chutney, frozen grapes and the enlightening scroll

There are also plenty of outdoor activities in this beautiful part of the world, including walking, fishing, surfing and golf.  It is of course home to our celebrated and recently successful Ryder Cup team members Darren Clark, Graham Mc Dowell and Rory Mcllroy

Below is one final photo (well for now anyway) of surfing and the golden sand at Portrush
