Giants Causeway

I would have met up but unfortunetly looking after wifes mother and her sister, they are around 80 and no longer abble to cook for themselves, we take days around with wifes brother to look about them.
 
If going to newcastle make sure you are early as only one park to go to in town about half way down main street, tight right turn to get to the duck pond.
Central carpark has spaces for about 6/7 vans facing the pond, you turn right past cocos and right again.

Did you ever think of a dive on the gerona of the antrim coast near dunluce, maybe some gold left there, new van pos. ;)
 
The rope bridge is, I think, now has to be booked and has height barriers, so you need to park in the village or a lay-by further up the road towards Ballycastle.

As Trev and others have said, don’t pay to visit the visitors centre (unless you wish to), as you face the centre, go round the outside to the right, following the path, under the archway and down to the stones.

Overnight parking is or was allowed at the park and ride in the village of Bushmills. There is also a temporary Aire during July and August beside the juniper hill campsite Portrush (both council run) with services at the proper Aire in Portrush. The temp Aire is well placed for visiting Portrush and Portstewart by footpath which is also a cycle path.

Portstewart has a great strand run by Nat Trust, if you are prepared to park on the beach, not that I would let my van onto sand.

We parked further along the road and walked down to the rope bridge but the staff told us that if we'd rung the number they open the height barrier
 
We were in ireland in April 2018 so things may have changed since then.

The Giant's Causeway and Cliffs of Moher are big tourists (coach parties) destinations. We found places like Bridges of Ross and Kilkee Cliffs more impressive and we were pretty much the only ones there.

Another vote for the Doagh Famine Village. The sister of the Pat Doherty, founder and chief guide, said we could stay overnight in their car park - we had other plans so didn't.
