For GoT completists only

Sep 2022

Just found out that the reason there were tour buses constantly pulling up here was that it was a Game of Thrones (GoT) location. Oh, and some of the houses are an inspiration for Port Merion.
If you've been to Port Merion and have no interest in GoT, then save your time and avoid. As a small village, it's not special (there's prettier). And the caves are frankly small and non-descript.

Coast road diversion

Apr 2021 • Solo

Diverted off the (thoroughly recommended) A2 coastal road to see Cushendun. Not only for Game of Thrones fans (I'm not one anyway) because as well as the caves there are the Clough Williams-Ellis cottages (he who is also responsible for the wonderful creation that is Portmeirion) to admire.

My favourite spot

Jul 2021 • Friends

I would live there in a heartbeat. It’s a special place in every way. The beach is beautiful and safe. The little houses are cute and the village is filled with flowers and hanging baskets. We’ll be back

Picturesque small town

Sep 2020 • Couples

Cushendun is probably the nicest small town/village on the coastal drive.
It is set in a conservation area managed by the National Trust at the mouth of the Glendun river and attracts many visitors annually.
Anyone travelling the Antrim Coast road northwards should make a point of reaching here for a break to enjoy the tranquility.

Special Place

Aug 2020 • Couples

We took a drive to the beach at Cushendun on Sunday morning. It was the first time since the lockdown and it was like a gift to be there. This is such a tranquil and special place and the drive to it is lovely. No need to go abroad when there are places like this close by.

McBride pub

Aug 2019 • Couples

Would recommend McBrides pub grub for a quick bite. You can park across the road. It's got a game of thrones door installed carved from the dark hedges trees.
