· The visitor centre cost almost £20! Not recommended to go in!!! (Unless you are too rich)
How to go there?
· By car: around 1.5 hours drive from city centre if you drive through the motorway; nearly 3 hours drive if follow the coastal road will unforgettable views
· Public transport: Train/ bus from Belfast central station to Coleraine —> Transfer to Ulsterbus (Route 170 or 402)

This place is unreal😻
Mussenden Temple, perched dramatically on a 120 ft cliff above Downhill Strand near Castlerock, is one of Northern Ireland’s most iconic coastal landmarks. Built in 1785 by Frederick Hervey, the 4th Earl Bishop of Derry, as a seaside library inspired by the Roman Temple of Vesta, it’s dedicated to his niece Frideswide Mussenden #travel #beachlife
