Very short route (2 km), suitable for everyone, but suggestive: it crosses meadows and then skirts a small marshy area and a coast where you can spot many typical animals and flowers that create a great atmosphere. Several benches to stop, really relaxing.

Lovers of authentic and picturesque lighthouses will get their money's worth here! The Rathlin East Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse built in 1856.

View of the lighthouse

The building was built by the Gage family in the mid-1700s, it was used as a warehouse for the seaweed. There was also a person here to keep the accounts and operate the scales. The house was also used to store grain and other agricultural products. Trade was mainly with Scotland and the seaweed was exchanged for coal as fuel was scarce on the island. The building later became a music, dance and theater venue and therefore remains a special place on the island. The building has been rebuilt again and again over the past 200 years, the traces can be seen.

There is a sea lion colony by the cliffs before and after the ruin. But you are very shy.

Follow the road straight to get onto the East Lighthouse path. Road quality varies from this point so probably not ideal for road bikes.
