TORR HEAD & FAIR HEAD
Torr Head: from Cushendun, follow the Scenic Coastal Road towards Ballycastle. The route is quite narrow, so caution is required. In fine weather, it's an enchantment for your eyes. It seems that we are alone at the end of the world and we see, on the whole, Scotland, the Mull of Kintyre and the island of Islay. Once you arrive at Torr Head, you have to park the car and walk a few minutes to the headland and its post of ruined coast guards, where the viewpoint on the cliffs, the countryside and the coastline is absolutely magnificent.
Fair Head: more to the northwest and following Fairhead Road, we arrive at the parking lot before these stunning cliffs. You will have to follow a trail about a few hundred meters on foot to reach its impressive rocks, which plunge into the sea from their 180 m. The views on the horizon are breathtaking. Here too, we need to be careful on the road. To have an idea of the vastness of Fair Head, you can also admire the panorama from Ballycastle.

Un moment donné, une bifurcation vous emmène jusqu'à Fair Head. On se gare sur le parking d'une ferme (2£ pour la demi-journée) et il faut ensuite essayer tant bien que mal de trouver le chemin jusqu'à Fair Head à travers de la tourbe et les vaches et taureaux qui paissent alentours.
Attention, plus aucun chemin n'est indiqué à l'heure actuelle et on avance un peu à l'aveugle, les pieds dans l'eau (prenez vos bottes si vous en avez).
Une fois au bord de la falaise, la vue est splendide, mais attention, par temps venteux, plus rien n'est sécurisé et ça souffle très fort !
