Kinbane Head – the beauty of the Causeway Coast
Kinbane Head (White Head) one of the most striking coastal landmarks on the Causeway coast. The name referring to the limestone of the promontory.
This is the site of Kinbane Castle.
It is a stunning location, though the ascent is quite demanding; while going down isn't difficult, those 140 steps can break you, when climbing your way back.
The headland itself can be a bit eerie to walk on, even during the day, but when I think back to being there alone at night a few years ago, in the same spot, with absolutely nothing visible except the light from the Rathlin Island lighthouse in the distance. I’m amazed I managed it. Even though fear did rear its head a few times.
A place absolutely worth visiting, especially on a beautiful, sunny day.
