What You'll Find
The Old Bushmills Railway is a lovely idea for little train enthusiasts, with the chance to enjoy a heritage railway experience near the Causeway Coast. A train journey feels like an adventure in itself for younger children, especially when they can watch the scenery pass by from their seat.
The railway has historically linked the Bushmills area with the Giant’s Causeway, making it an appealing addition to a bigger North Coast outing. However, heritage railway services can be seasonal or change over time, so do not assume trains are running without checking the current operator information first.
If services are available, allow time to enjoy the journey rather than rushing straight on to the next stop. It can be a lovely little treat for children who love anything on rails.
