One of Northern Ireland’s most exhilarating tourist attractions is getting ready for another busy summer season.


Renowned as one of the most beautiful and dramatic tourist attractions in Europe, the Gobbins near Islandmagee is a spectacular coastal walk situated along the Causeway Coastal Route in NI.



Weaving its way along the basalt cliffs of the famous Causeway Coast, you will walk across suspension bridges, through tunnels and along pathways in an up close and personal experience of the spectacular coastline. Travelling along the path, visitors will hear about the geology and biodiversity of the area, as well as the history attached to the location.

This exhilarating and unique coastal adventure - which takes visitors through rugged caves and tunnels, along winding stairways, over tubular bridges and below sea level - has drawn tourists in their droves to this wonderful part of NI.
