Possibly between Coleraine and Derry - runs along the coast with cliffs on other side in parts. North Antrim coast is very scenic also but I can't remember if the railway line follows this.

Yep - it's where I live and is great!!

Train from Belfast to Coleraine sadly misses the gorgeous North Antrim coast and Giant's Causeway (but you can get a bus, and in the summer there's a wee steam train to Causeway from Portballintrae)

Train line from Coleraine to Derry runs along the coast, through cliffs and is really great. Not a particularly long journey though - unless you're a real train fan I'd hire a car so you can drive on the beaches etc. then get the ferry across to Donegal.

Can you tell I love where I live???
