    Would anybody have recommendations for a good walking route along Antrim's coast? Where would be a good place to base ourselves?

    Thanks.

    There are some good walks around Fair Head, Murlough Bay and Torr Head to the east of Ballycastle, near Ballyvoy - it's the norh-east corner of the island and you see right past Rathlin to Islay, Jura (and Gigha if you're a few miles further west) on a moderately clear day, and the Mull of Kintyre is only 15 or so miles across the water. In fact you could get the Kintyre Express from Ballycastle over to Campbelltown for a day trip as a foot passenger/cyclist, the crossing only takes 90 minutes and you're right in the Scottish Highlands. Tbh the whole north coast right from Runkerry (just west of the Giant's Causeway) right around & down through the Glens to Carnlough is just spectacularly beautiful, you can't go wrong and you'll be spoilt for choice. Google the Ulster Way for some recommended walking routes.
