We meet at Holyhead in time for the afternoon sailing to Dublin Port. Luggage goes with our coach so that you can enjoy to the full the journey between the two capitals aboard The Enterprise Express. TRAVEL IS IN FIRST CLASS AND INCLUDES YOUR EVENING MEAL SERVED AT SEAT. A short journey to Dunadry should see us settled in by about 21.45.

There are so many lovely trips to make it is difficult to know where to start. Perhaps, after a late arrival on Friday, we should stay “local” today. So, we will take a coach trip up to Larne, then rail via Whitehead, Carrickfergus, and Belfast to Cultra. Here we will have plenty of time for the main attraction of the day – the superb Ulster Folk and Transport Museum – truly one of the best of its type in the British Isles. Later we swiftly drive back to Antrim.

Back to the station this morning for a rail journey from Antrim, via Belfast, to Lisburn – the finest surviving railway station in Northern Ireland. We now head south and then east climbing into the Mourne Mountains for some super Ulster upland scenery.  Our return journey to Antrim will include a rail journey from the end of the line at Bangor.

We head for the border today, enjoying a scenic drive through the Sperrin Mountains on our way to Fintown in Co Donegal. Enjoy a loch side, and extremely rustic, rail ride with the Fintown Railway before we head to Londonderry. On the way (sort of!) we will stop at Oakfield Park for the Difflin Lake Railway with time to appreciate the estate’s beautiful gardens. Then, from Londonderry, we take NI Railways most scenic route back to Antrim.

Have we saved the best till last? – join us to find out as we head north by train to Portrush. From here our Antrim Coast Tour starts at the Giants Causeway (a World Heritage Site) This is a true “Kodak Moment” and time is allowed to descend the path and climb among the unusual hexagonal rocks. Then, we take a ride through the middle of a golf course on the reinstated Giant’s Causeway Tramway. One of the biggest local exports is produced at the Bushmills Distillery so we need to pop in for a tour and obligatory taster, of course. Our journey back to Dunadry is by road around the amazing Antrim Coast road with a pause in Carnlough.

You will probably have been excited all week in anticipation of our return “Enterprise” to Dublin. Again, it is first class (of course), enjoying a full Irish Breakfast in real comfort as the scenery whizzes by. Back in Dublin, with a little time to spare, we will do something in Eire before catching the early afternoon boat back to Holyhead and homeward bound trains.
