“From the vibrant walled City of Derry to the peaceful golden sands of Benone Strand; the impressive Binevenagh Mountain and cliffs at Downhill featuring Ireland’s longest railway tunnels to the charm of old and new found side by side in Coleraine.

“The attractive new guide provides tourism information on the area along with train and bus information including discounted ticket options. We hope that both visitors to Northern Ireland and those looking for a fun ‘staycation’ will make this exciting journey to explore the North Coast and the City of Derry and enjoy a memorable day out.”

The new Translink publication ‘One of the World’s Great Railway Journeys’ is now available in local bus and train stations. For further information click www.translink.co.uk or call 90 66 66 30.
