The Gobbins Path is an extraordinary and wild cliff-face walk situated on the incredible Causeway Coastal Route. The path takes you on a journey through time discovering caves, mollusc-encrusted rockpools, and eerie passageways. Expect fascinating wildlife, incomparable views, and a visit to remember. This route is highly reccommended and a bucket-list must-do!

About the closest to a via ferrata you will find in Ireland. Slightly adventurous path for those not used to it at all, but from a sportive perspective rather boring for mountaineers. The landscape and views are great though and still worth it. Downside is that you need to go for a guided tour here.

Beautiful walk along the rocky shore zones

Just 20 miles from Belfast, this coastal path meanders along the basalt cliffs just above the Irish Sea and was originally built over 100 years ago. However, the path was closed in 1954 after the long-term effects of the economic crisis of the 1930s and the lack of material after World War II made the operation of this unique tourist attraction impossible. Now the Coastal Path has undergone a major refurbishment and is one of the most popular attractions on the Causeway Coastal Route.
