Don’t miss Alex McKillop’s award winning ice-creams.

The North Antrim Coast has something to marvel at round every headland. Sculpted basalt cliff faces give way to bright limestone or sandstone caves. The “pudding stone” at Cushendun and the basalt pillars at the Giant’s Causeway are among the spectacular geological formations along this remarkable coast. If you know where to look, a good range of fossils or rarer minerals can also be found. Stone Age axe heads honed from blue porcellanite quarried at Tievebulliagh Hill, near Cushendall, have been found across the British Isles and even further afield in Europe.

Whitehead is a small town between Carrickfergus and Larne. Close to the famous Gobbins Cliff Path and the Blackhead lighthouse; it’s a great location for a day trip or a short break. The Old Bank House shop and restaurant near the railway station is a good place to start your adventure. It stocks a wide range of local art and craft goods; it also serves excellent coffee. The brightly painted Victorian houses along the promenade are cheerful to look at, even on the dullest of days.

Just recently restored, this path between Whitehead and Blackhead is a lovely place for a walk. If you’re fit enough to climb a “few” steps, then the loop round the lighthouse is well worth the effort. If you’re brave enough to do the walk at night …… I’ll not spoil the surprises. Be careful!
