Across the country, many notable landmarks - both inside and outside - continue to thrive despite the falling temperatures and limited daylight.
Here are some of the best landmarks to be visited in Northern Ireland throughout autumn and winter.
17. Mussenden Temple and Downhill Demesne
The magnificent clifftop walks of this stunning landscape and beautiful gardens afford rugged headland views across the awe-inspiring North Coast. Discover the striking 18th-century mansion of the eccentric Earl Bishop that now lies in ruin, then explore Mussenden Temple, perched on the cliff edge and originally built as a library. As an extra treat you can learn about the reality of life in the rural 17th-century cottage of Hezlett House, told through people who once lived there in one of Northern Ireland's oldest buildings.

18. Derry City Walls
Discover an exciting, vibrant city brimming with heritage, history and culture. Londonderry remains the only remaining completely walled city in Ireland, with the walls being built between 1613 and 1618 by the Irish Society as defences for early seventeenth century settlers from England and Scotland. 1.5km in circumference, the walls form a walkway around the inner city and a unique promenade to view the layout of the original town’s Renaissance Style street plan that remains intact. The city also claims to be home to Europe’s largest collection of cannon, many of them thundered in anger during the siege of 1689. In 2005 the surviving 24 cannon were restored to their former glory. Photo: Contributed
19. Ulster American Folk Park
Outside Omagh, follow in the footsteps of millions of Ulster people in the 18th and 19th centuries as they set out to carve a new life for themselves in the New World. Wander the well-trodden pathways of rural Ulster, with authentic shops and buildings, before stepping aboard the Brig Union ship to emerge on the American Frontier. Be sure to experience some of the daily demonstrations of traditional crafts, from forge work to wool spinning, turf cutting to willow weaving, woodcraft to patchwork quilting before taking a stroll through the herb garden to learn about herbal remedies from years gone by.

20. Hill of the O’Neill & Ranfurly House
The town of Dungannon houses one of the most important sites in the history of Ulster. For over 400 years, one of the most powerful dynasties in Ulster - the O’Neills - ruled from this stronghold of authority and power. Ascend the viewing tower to see as far as counties Cavan and Monaghan and savour the views that Hugh O’Neill would have enjoyed before the famed Flight of the Earls in 1607. The listed Victorian Ranfurly House has remained impeccably preserved while housing a multimedia exhibition as well as a visitor information centre, gift shop, auditorium, and meeting rooms.
