Glens of Antrim

In this episode, Susan heads to the dramatic, yet charming coast of Northern Ireland. It's full of warm characters, ancient traditions and a truly striking landscape. When it comes to epic adventures, this certainly looks the part. The starting point of her trip is the gorgeous Glenariff — one of the nine Glens of Antrim, stretching over 270 square miles. Then it's a stop at the glamourous Glenarm Castle estate, which is home to one of Ireland's oldest walled gardens. Here, Susan is allowed a look around inside the historic castle before being treated to a ride in a vintage car. Susan takes a quick stop by the coast to hear about a local delicacy — dulse — before travelling to Portstewart, where she's treated to a traditional Irish dance recital from a group who like to add a modern twist. And, at Royal Portrush, keen golfer Susan is invited to play a hole on one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the world. The Irish tradition of basket-making goes back centuries, and Susan is given a lesson by one of the few remaining weavers in the country. Then it's off to the oldest whiskey distillery in the world for a unique way to appreciate the spirit — sniffing not sipping. Moving on, Susan discovers a way to flex her artistic muscles with something known as ‘Drag and Draw'. Assembled artists try to capture a drag gueen on canvas, and Susan is thrilled to discover that modelling today is the one and only Blu Hydrangea, who recently won RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs the World. It's up to Susan to do justice to drag royalty. Finally, Susan makes her way along the coast to her final stop and her biggest challenge — the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. Suspended across a 30-metre deep and 20-metre wide chasm, the bridge was first used by fishermen, but is now a top tourist spot. Keen to do one thing that scares her on each adventure, Susan sets out for a wobbly walk. It all makes for another of Susan's utterly unforgettable Grand Days Out.
