Castles and haunted places in Ireland

Cushendun(Cois Abhann Duinne in Irish Gaelic) is a small coastal village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It lies on the A2 coastal road between Cushendall and Ballycastle. Beautiful and charming, it's a little paradise on earth, with its beach, harbor and traditional charm where the weather seems mild and pleasant! Visit Cushendun A colorful and charming coastal village! [caption id="attachment_49819" align="alignright" width="480"] Port of Cushendun - Deck Accessory - cc[/caption] The village of Cushendun is a small seaside hamlet on the Torr Head Scenic Road. We love its small, sheltered port at the mouth of the River Dun and Glendun. Fishermen come and go in incredible peace and quiet! The village has fewer than 150 inhabitants, an Irish pub, a beach and a 400-million-year-old cave. All this in an atmosphere where time seems to have stood still, far from the incessant activity of the big cities. Cushenden is a little corner of paradise away from civilization, where daily life is shaped by the sea, the climate and the quiet lives of the local inhabitants. Don't hesitate to stop by, stroll barefoot along the beach or push open the door of an Irish pub. The idea: take a stroll, have a pint and head off for new adventures.
