There are many exciting walks around the Causeway, I have listed some of our favourites below: -

Giants Causeway Walk

There are two ways to approach the Giants Causeway. It can be reached directly by road, either on foot or using the seasonal Ulsterbus service (buses accessible for people with disabilities.) 0.8km, 0.5 mile to Giants Causeway. A longer circular walk follows the cliff path to the Shepherd's Steps and back via the Giants Causeway. 3km, almost 2 miles.

The organ to Reostan

The spectacular cliff-face columns of the Organ can be reached by the lower path, either from the Giants Causeway or the Shepherd's Steps. This path continues a further 500m to Port Reostan viewpoint. The gate here marks the end of the lower path. Along this route you will see the "Giants Eyes," oval sockets in the reddish iron ore layer where basalt boulders have fallen out. This path is surfaced but narrow. 3.5km, just over 2 miles.

Runkerry Circuit

This walk follows the cliff top path west, past the Causeway Hotel and Runkerry House. Along this route are two stockproof gates and some steps. Dogs must be on leads please. Cliffs and bays, with views to Portrush, and Donegal beyond. Return by inland way-marked route via the old tram track to Visitor Centre. The cliff path is surfaced at first, changing to grass or soil underfoot, with a little road walking to finish. 4km, 2.5 miles.

Dunseverick Castle

A longer walk along the top of the high cliffs. The path is narrow in places with mostly grass or soil surfaces, which are slippery when wet. Spectacular cliff scenery, including Port-na-Spaniagh ("Girona" wreck site). 8km, 5 miles. The Causeway Coast path continues east from Dunseverick Castle. The B146 road will take you back to the Visitor Centre directly, an additional 4.5km, 2.8 miles. 

Portallintrae via old tram track

This route starts at the far end of the small car park on the minor road below the Visitor Centre car parks. The Causeway Coast path follows the old tram track (hydro-electric tram linking Causeway Head with Portrush, 1887 - 1949) until within sight of the metal bridge spanning the River Bush. Waymarkers then take you to the footbridge at the rivermouth. Continue uphill to the car park at Portballintrae. Mostly surfaced path, except for sandy and grassy section by river. 2km, 1.2 miles. The Causeway Coast path continues west from Portballintrae.
