Ruins in a beautiful location

One of the real classic seacliff climbing areas with decades of histors and the tradiitonal climbing meet-up on the first weekend in June.

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!

Because a cliff does not have to be exactly vertical, there can be confusion about whether a particular slope is a cliff or not, and also about how much of a particular slope should be counted as a cliff. For example, for a truly vertical rock face over a very steep slope, one could count just the rock face or the combination. Listing cliffs is therefore inherently uncertain.

Rathlin Island, an island between Ireland and Scotland, can only be reached by sailors within a narrow time window, outside of which it gets bumpy because of the races and overfalls. About 100 people live here, some of whom we met yesterday in the pub. If you want to move here, you have to accept a poll and a vote from those who already live here, I don't know whether that will take place in the pub or the church.

Fair Head is a cliff top approximately 3 miles long and 200m high with sweeping views of Ballycastle.

Stunning views from Fairhead to Ballycastle

According to komoot only 50 meters in altitude - forget it. It feels like 200 within a few meters over some high steps. Goes right in the thighs.
