This tour is now Sold Out. New dates will be announced in our Newsletter.
An autumn photography trip to Northern Ireland is as quaint and scenic an adventure as you could wish for. But there’s also an undercurrent of something darker here. This part of the world is a moody, evocative place that stirs the senses, not least because of the region’s difficult political past. But even as the Emerald Isle continues to emerge from the Troubles, the landscape has remained stubborn and untainted. Wind and water and stone still collide.
It’s a mercurial place that will have you gazing through your lens at life as it should be: Vivid colours as summer gives way to winter, mystical castles, sea-sculpted rock formations, and serene, green landscapes bold enough to be a backdrop for the ‘Game of Thrones’ TV series.
On this photography tour you’ll explore some of Northern Ireland’s finest sights, as we travel through County Antrim and visit magical places with equally magical names. Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce castle and Dark Hedges are all on the list. And in a setting such as this, it’s only natural that we take the time to enjoy the local whisky too. It would be rude not to!
For the majority of this tour we will focus on the coastline and landscapes of Northern Ireland. Our planned itinerary is by no means carved in stone. The order that we see most of the sights depends heavily on the weather, which can be pretty changeable in this part of the world. A bit of rain won’t stop us though - that’s what the whisky’s for. Here’s the plan:
- Visit to the famous Giant’s Causeway
- A shoot at the Mussenden Temple
- The stunning toad of Dark Hedges
- The Fanad Head Lighthouse
- A walk on the shores of Ballintoy and Ballycastle
- A visit to Dunluce castle
- Irish Whisky Tasting (To improve the saturation of your photos, of course)
