Rathlin Island, Ballycastle, Rathlin Island, County Antrim, BT54 6RT
Round to the Rue

About

Our walk will consist of minor roads and grassy trails, traversing headlands, and skirting shorelines. Our guide Kevin will introduce the island's history, heritage and story through commentary and visual storytelling. The Rue point is the closest point between Rathlin and the Mainland and was for many years a vibrant port with a history of smuggling and now is home to a colony of seals observable from a safe distance.

*Ferry travel not included*

*In the event of cancelled ferry crossings (at the Skipper's discretion), all bookings will be refunded*
