Hotels in Portrush
A small and popular seaside resort in Northern Ireland's County Antrim, Portrush is well known for a series of fine sandy beaches. Most of the old town, and the majority of hotels, restaurants, bars and cafés are concentrated on the sweeping mile-long peninsula known as Ramore Head.
History
The human History of this area is long. In the 19th century, flint tools were found that show the site of Portrush was occupied during the Irish Mesolithic period, around 6,000 years ago. The port itself began to develop in the 12th and 13th centuries because of its excellent natural defences and there was once a church on Ramore Head from this era, but no trace of it exists today. Two castles were also built here, but they too have vanished.
For centuries Portrush was a successful fishing town, until tourism began to develop in the 19th century with the help of burgeoning railway links. Superb local beaches, the Royal Portrush Golf Club and the nearby Giant's Causeway each contributed to the town's rise as a place to visit.
Landmarks
Nearby you can explore the dramatic ruins of Dunluce Castle, perched on steep verdant crags above the ocean. The castle was occupied by the MacQuillan and MacDonnell families before being besieged by the British in the 16th century. Near this fascinating ruin you can explore Whiterocks Beach which offers both lovely stretches of sand and a fascinating complex of natural caves, carved into the soft limestone cliffs above. The Old Bushmills Distillery, just a few miles east of Portrush makes an inspiring visit. The world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery, having been granted a licence to distil in 1608, is today a great place to watch whiskey making in progress, and of course sample the famous product too!
