For our September walk on the 6th of September we intend to walk the FAIR HEAD AND MURLOUGH BAY coastal/cliff top walk near Ballycastle. This walk will be on relatively wide paths so it should be easy for everyone to socially distance
This walk starts and finishes in a very small car park with no facilities, therefore, we will meet up in Ballycastle first, then travel to the car park at the start of the walk – about 2-3 miles outside of Ballycastle.
We will be starting from the upper car park at Murlough Bay. The walk goes downhill, along the coast in a loop, before we take a twisting path through woodland to the top of the escarpment.
The bay is really beautiful and remote – those who watch Game of Thrones should recognise it! This part of the walk will probably take 2½ to 3 hours and at this point, we pass by the upper car park again.
The next part of the walk involves minimal ascents and descents, as we stay on the top of the cliffs, taking an out-and-back walk along the cliff tops at Fair Head. Hopefully, we will get a clear day, as the views of Rathlin and across to Scotland are stunning.
Meet-up:- Main car park in Ballycastle at 10.15. This car park is located near the ferry port.–
All new walkers are welcome, just turn up on the day or drop us an email
