Binevenagh - Discover one of Northern Ireland’s most spectacular coastal landscapes.

Rising dramatically above the north coast of County Londonderry, Binevenagh is one of Northern Ireland’s most striking natural landmarks. Formed around 60 million years ago by volcanic activity, this impressive mountain marks the western edge of the Antrim Plateau and offers breathtaking panoramic views across the Causeway Coast, Lough Foyle, County Donegal and, on clear days, the Scottish coastline.

The towering cliffs of Binevenagh stretch for more than six miles across the Magilligan Peninsula, dominating the landscape above the villages of Bellarena, Downhill, Castlerock and Benone Strand. Its unique geology, rugged escarpments and diverse habitats have earned the area protection as both an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and an Area of Special Scientific Interest.

Binevenagh is a popular destination for walkers, photographers and nature enthusiasts, with a network of scenic trails leading through ancient woodland, open grassland and dramatic cliff-top viewpoints. The mountain is also rich in wildlife, supporting a variety of birds of prey, rare plants and protected habitats.

Many visitors will recognise Binevenagh from television, having featured as the backdrop for the Dothraki Sea in the acclaimed series Game of Thrones. Combined with its fascinating geology and spectacular scenery, it has become one of the must-visit destinations along Northern Ireland’s stunning north coast.

Whether you're looking for a rewarding hike, incredible photography opportunities or simply a place to enjoy some of the finest views in Northern Ireland, Binevenagh is an unforgettable destination.
