The Causeway Coastal Route website grew out of a personal interest in knowing about places I photographed, each location has its own ambiance and the often unknown stories and histories can bring a place alive and explain features and feelings. I have always had a fascination or intrigue to know more, so in many ways my photographic experience has not only been a creative journey but an educational one too, through research I have gained more more depth and insight about my locality and the places where I photograph along the Causeway Coastal Route.

The information first went online in 1998 as northantrim.com but as my journeys expanded beyond what I could honestly call north Antrim I needed another domain name to house my expanding information and images. In 2009, I acquired the current domain name which covers the entire coast from Belfast to Derry and has been ideal for my needs. It also happens to be an early signature tourism project which today is regarded as one of the 'must do' road trips in Ireland so this fact gave the site a purpose.

I am independent from statutory bodies and receive no help from them allowing a personal freedom to be honest, open and reveal what is not in the 'official' brochures. It also allows me to be more personal about places I visit as I have only my own agenda to follow.

The website is voluntarily maintained, updated and all content researched, photographed and written by myself which as you can imagine is time consuming, all content is copyright to myself apart from contributions from kind supporters which are credited where they appear. There is also a Facebook page to compliment the website which I update with images every couple of days or so and also where visitors can comment about locations. I am not sure where it will go or what shape it will take in the future but hopefully it will compliment the website and create a reasonably worthwhile space for people to visit. The blogs here are a mixture of personal and location specific.

 I hope you enjoy future posts both here and on Facebook.
