Outdoor & Activities

Hiking, cycling, golf, fishing, and named walking routes

Ballycastle Golf Club
An 18-hole links course founded in 1890, nicknamed the Warren Links for its rabbit-hole terrain — hill-top views over Rathlin Island and the coast.
Curraghs
The ox-hide boats that once crossed the channel between Ballycastle, Rathlin, and Campbeltown — proven seaworthy enough to cross the Atlantic in 1976.
Cycling Around Ballycastle
The Glens of Antrim and Causeway Coast make for genuinely rewarding cycling, with waymarked routes on the National Cycle Network's quieter back roads.
Fishing Around Ballycastle
In-shore, deep sea, river, and lough fishing off Ballycastle — the wrecks around Rathlin Island are a reliable spot for pollock, and bigger besides.
Hiking Around Ballycastle
The Ulster Way and Moyle Way run through this area, with waymarked routes taking in Knocklayde, the Glens, and the coast.
