Coleraine

We're off to Ireland in August and will be spending a night in Coleraine, can anyone suggest a decent family restaurant.

Thanks :-)

As I understand it, yes, lots of rows going on. It's about 30 years since I've been, then it was just the causeway itself.

I could advise you of some great spots in Derry, and ofcourse Belfast but I am assuming you wont be commuting that far for dinner?

[rockyracoon]

No jd, not unless we have to :)

Psybbo, it's ridiculous, how can a visitors centre be worth £8? I hope the loos aren't in there ;)

I agree, maybe some cheaper ways on that site.

I gotta go and see these sights myself since I am a current resident. Haven't been to Titanic but believe it is great to see.

Always the. Way Conn, when it's on the doorstep you don't tend to bother. I'm determined to see Dublin as a tourist this time I go, been many many times and can't understand why people love it, so I've decided I need to see it through their eyes.

I haven't been to the Giants Causeway since the days of the old Visitors Centre, when parking was free as far as I recall (last time I "visited" I think was for a half marathon which started there). I guess that's "progress for you".
I heartily endorse Psybbo's recommendation of Benone - a terrific location with lots of interesting things to see and great views.
