What is Northern Ireland Famous/Known For?
Northern Ireland where the smell of wet grass, a walk on a street that has been hit by the rain, a castle which the fog has determined to swallow and how beautiful it is to look out over a cliff whose border is the only one responsible for the ocean. With a panorama of stony and dark rocks daring to disturb a furious swell. Horizon of anonymous islets born by an ancient lava spill where only seabirds are able to mediate. What is Northern Ireland famous for? What are those essential places to see during a trip to the real set of Winterfell?
1Rathlin Island and the puffins

In a territory so prone to cliffs it is impossible that it is not a claim for ornithologists (whether they are professionals or mere bird lovers). As for seabirds it is considered very famous, although there is a place to the north (visible from The Gobbins) that takes all the qualifications. I am referring to the island of Rathlin, considered as an inhabited island. It can be accessed by ferry from Ballycastle and is famous for hosting a large number of seabirds. Highlights include the Araos, the alcas and, of course, the friendly puffins (the national bird of Iceland), very typical of northern waters and arriving at the island at the end of April to leave when August is about to end.
