The Gobbins Cliff Path Experience  Location :      Islandmagee, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, on the Causeway Coastal Route.  The Gobbins Cliff path is renowned for it's spectacular and dramatic views.  Designed by the railway engineer Berkeley Deane Wise in 1902, the Gobbins closed in 1954 when the depression of the 1930s hit.  After extensive renovations, the Gobbins opened again, and is a hugely popular walk. Distance :       The Gobbins Coastal Path is 3 miles (5 km) long.  It is the equivalent of climbing and descending 50 flights of stairs, so a reasonable level of fitness is required.  The Gobbins experience includes a short bus ride, then a steep decent which is followed by over 100 steps to the path entrance.  Overall the tour could take approximately 3 hours. Access :          The Gobbins Visitor Centre is located in Middle Road, Islandmagee BT40 3SL, County Antrim.  The path is only accessible via a guided tour, and it is unsuitable for  young children.  Each visitor

Are you looking for a pet friendly pod? Fifi and Lolli love to pose for a photo at the pod.    At Loughmourne you get to disappear into the countryside, completely unwind and embrace the sights and sounds of nature.  Our dogs are part of the family too so there are lots of things here for them to explore. You know your dog best so all the owners ask is that your four-legged friends are clean and well behaved.  Although there is plenty of room for your little pooch to run around please be aware this is not a fully enclosed area. There are lots of trails and walks nearby to ensure both you and your dog have as a truly 'paw'some time.   Booking information link for Loughmourne Glamping Pod
