    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
