The Gobbins footpath
THE GOBBINS
Finally gotten round to my summer holiday in Northern Ireland photographs.
This set are from the Gobbins coastal path in the north east near Ballycarry. It is spectacular.
Made possible by the efforts of the Irish civil engineer Berkeley Dean Wise who in 1902 began his vision to bring tourism to the area. It was an instant success. With its path hugging the cliff face, suspension bridges and tunnels it is still a marvel today. It was thanks to the local council who after many years in a ruinous state and closed, decided to restore the walk to its former glory. It was reopened in 2016 and is as much a success as it was in its heyday. With funding and exciting plans to extend the walkway it looks like this breath-taking cliff walk has a great future.. GO VISIT.
