J4893 : Whitehead to Blackhead (10)

taken 17 years ago, near to Whitehead, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland

Whitehead to Blackhead (10)

See J4893 : Whitehead to Blackhead (9). Taken from almost the same place but higher up the steps this view shows the coastal path. From here on it starts to squeeze its way between the bottom of the cliffs (typical of this part of Co Antrim) and the waters of Belfast Lough. In 1917 the 4,000 tons “Chirripo”, outbound from Belfast was sunk, just offshore, by German mines. Continue to J4893 : Whitehead to Blackhead (11).

The Blackhead Path, Whitehead

A path running from The Banks at Whitehead, along the shore, to the Blackhead Lighthouse (with a parallel path running inland along the cliff and higher ground). It is possible to walk back to Whitehead from the lighthouse, on a surfaced path, via Muldersleigh Hill, McCrea’s Brae and the Islandmagee Road. Steep in places and not suitable for wheelchairs.
