Tollymore Forest Park

Tolimore Forest Park is full of bizarre rocks, delicate bridges, strange grottoes and caves, like a fairyland, more like a beautiful picture. Walking along the river or through the woods, you can enjoy the natural beauty and man-made wonders along the way, which is amazing. Many scenes of "Game of Thrones" were filmed in the forest here, bringing surprises to fans of the show, and walking into the park is like walking into a movie.

Titanic Belfast

Titanic Belfast is built where the Titanic was truly born: at the top of the slipway next to Harland & Wolff shipyard, where the hull of the great ship was constructed and launched not far in front of the museum, and where the nearby drawing office was the place she first took shape. Telling this story on the original site is what sets this museum apart from other Titanic-themed exhibitions. Thousands of silver aluminum panels form the bow and ice-crystal-like exterior of the building, which has now become one of the landmarks of Belfast. Explore this world-famous story through the eyes of those who built it with hard work and great ambition. On the Titanic self-guided experience tour, you will explore the sights, sounds, smells and stories of the ship, as well as the people and city that created it. Along our carefully designed one-way route, you will visit the thriving city of Belfast and the shipyard where the Titanic was built, learn about the launch, fitting-out and inaugural flight of the Titanic, and then delve into the shipwreck, its aftermath, the search for the Titanic and her final resting place. You will have the opportunity to explore the hopes and dreams of those affected by this great ship and admire our unique collection of Titanic artifacts.

Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle stands atop a volcanic rock cliff at the end of the Royal Mile. For nearly a thousand years, it has served as a royal residence, military stronghold, and prison, bearing witness to Scotland's turbulent history. The castle brings together several iconic buildings and exhibition halls: St Margaret's Chapel, built in the twelfth century, is one of the earliest surviving stone structures in Edinburgh, and this Romanesque chapel still retains its medieval appearance; the One O'Clock Gun, in use since 1861, was originally fired to help calibrate time for ships in the Firth of Forth, a tradition that has continued for more than a hundred years and is one of the castle's most recognizable traditional features. In the Crown Room of the Royal Palace, the Honours of Scotland are displayed alongside the Stone of Destiny; this set of treasures, comprising a crown, a sceptre, and a sword of state, dates back to the sixteenth century and is an important symbol of Scottish sovereignty. The National War Museum on the west side of the castle uses uniforms, medals, and weapons to trace Scotland's centuries of military history. Looking north from the high ramparts of the castle, visitors can take in the magnificent sea views of the Firth of Forth; this is also an excellent spot for overlooking the skyline of Edinburgh's Old Town.
