Stunning views of North Antrim coast, Rathlin Island, and as far as Scotland. Steep but steps with barriers until near the bottom. Some narrow / slippy parts of walking out onto the rocky outcrops but well worth it. Castle is nice. Did it with kids aged 5-8 and it's mostly suitable (so long as you keep a good eye on them) and they enjoyed it.

Built in 1547, Kinbane Castle is almost 500 years old and is a stunning site.
With the waves crashing against the rocks below it makes for a rugged picnic spot!
