Northern Ireland is a great destination for a nature escape, where tourists flock to spend a refreshing break. It sits on the northeast of the famous island of Ireland.

Exploring The Dark Hedges, a magnificent avenue where a plethora of beech trees line the sides of a wide street will help you feel in sync with nature. Staying in a cozy farmhouse with idyllic countryside surroundings will make your nature escape in the country more enjoyable. For a fantastic vacation, read on to find the top farm stays in Northern Ireland, UK.
