In the film, Kilrea woman Hannah Shields, who has climbed Mount Everest, takes the viewer on a tour and highlights the wonderful heritage, culture and scenery of the area.
She begins in Whitepark Bay with its impressive sweep of golden sand before moving on to St Gobban’s Church, said to be the smallest church in Ireland. Hannah then stops off at Dunluce Castle before finishing by showcasing some of the Ulster Way which leads to the Giant’s Causeway.
The film finishes with Hannah showing off her storytelling skills relaying the tale of Finn MacCool and the legend of how the Causeway was formed.
Vanessa Markey, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Great Britain, said: “This promotion with The Guardian, both online and offline, is an excellent way of showcasing the Causeway Coast and its many attractions to a large audience of potential holidaymakers across Great Britain.
