Salt spray and wind shape the first sentences of this day—Belfast recedes as narrow lanes and sea cliffs come forward, the Atlantic daring you toward rock and story. Your guide steers an executive MPV along the Causeway Coast; windows frame mills of cloud and the occasional shag of sunlight catching basalt that looks almost engineered.
