Highlights
- Rathlin Island - Our walks take place on a combination of surfaced roads and designated trails. Different routes are available so please ask at time of booking. If you walk to the Rue Lighthouse along the spectacular cliffs at Roonivoolin you will be covering about half the island. Keep your ears open to hear the distinctive call of the chough: an island bird rarity. Altacarry or Rathlin East Lighthouse is another way to go. Sorry, you can’t get to see around the East light. If you visit the RSPB Seabird Centre (the other end of Rathlin), you will be able to see inside that lighthouse.
