The Gobbins

The Gobbins is a cliff-face path at Islandmagee, County Antrim on the Causeway Coastal Route.

It runs across bridges, past caves and through a tunnel along The Gobbins cliffs. These cliffs are recognised for their rich birdlife, important geology and notable species and was created by an Irish railway engineer called Berkeley Deane Wise.

He designed and built the path as a tourist attraction for the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway Company.

First opened to the public in 1902 with visitors paying 6d (£2 in today’s rate) to enjoy a ‘perfect marvel of engineering’.

The Gobbins drew worldwide acclaim, with newspapers declaring that ‘the varied beauty of this cliff path baffles all description’.
