Cushendun Village & caves in Northern Ireland

 Cushendun is a small coastal village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
It sits off the A2 coast road between Cushendall and Ballycastle. 

It has a sheltered harbour and lies at the mouth of the River Dun and Glendun,
one of the nine Glens of Antrim.

Province: Ulster

The Cushendun Caves are located in County Antrim in Northern Ireland.
Although they are very old, they are known to the public only since the broadcast
of the “Game of Thrones” series (the Iron Throne), the series
having shot some emblematic scenes within the caves.
A must for fans, and lovers of unsuspected tourist treasures!
