Little Lea (Belfast)
Start the day with a 1-hour drive north into Belfast, and visit Little Lea (www.discovernorthernireland.com/product.aspx?ProductID=9245), C.S. Lewis' childhood home. It was in the 'Little End Room' of the house that the young author wrote his first stories while overlooking the Mourne Mountains. In the attic, Lewis created his own imaginary world of 'Boxen', now known to millions of fans all over the world.
Dunluce Castle
End your C.S. Lewis adventure with a trip to Dunluce Castle (www.northantrim.com/dunlucecastle.htm) on the North Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland. This late-medieval and 17th-century castle is dramatically sited on a headland dropping sheer into the sea. Its exciting and dangerous atmosphere is said to have inspired Lewis' Cair Paravel from The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe.
