Brilliant hike. Amazing views and great walk. Well signposted and the parking in the park is free. We had rain sunshine and wind but glorious views nonetheless.Full review by rebeccamP4482ZI

I would tell fitter than for Giant's, though I am not sure which route you did there? Did you climb up the cliff? I would tell that here you have bigger elevation difference than on Giant's, the route is also a little bit longer but at the same time it is not a difficult path, I would tell that the average modern person is definitely able to do it if have enough time.

Is there any public transport to this place from Belfast city centre?

Frequently asked questions
Q:
Can I narrow my search further by entering an exact date of death or burial, rather than just a year?
A:
This makes it difficult to carry out a comprehensive search by date, as some records may be omitted from the search facility as a result of their format.
