Blackhead Lighthouse
Historical landmark
👍👍 Don't expect to get into the Lighthouse grounds but as long as you know this you won't be disappointed with the views and the 'adventurous' walk.
Best way to experience - Begin at the quaint Victorian Town of Whitehead and walk along promenade and then onto the 'Old Castle Road' that hugs the shorel...

The Rinkha Ice Cream and Toys
Ice cream shop
🫤 Ice cream over-rated. It was recommended to us and we were told the long line was worth the wait but don't bother. Much nicer ice-cream found elsewhere. It tasted like ice-cream does when it has thawed and is refrozen.

National Trust - Glenoe
Tourist attraction
👍👍 visited 29/08/2021 - sat nav takes you almost to the car park location, just a bit further up the road and then small sign to the car park with room for small amount of vehicles. If taking young kids then pram/buggy is out and you need a baby carrier or keep younger children supervised. The waterfal...

Whitehead Railway Museum
Rail museum
😐 Interesting museum but there's not a whole lot to do or see. We're not normally a fan of guided tours but we were glad of it here as we would have been in and out in 5minutes and Trevor was great. There was a steam train running while we were there so that was good to. This is volunteer run, maintai...

👍👍 I highly recommend this experience!
Loved every single thing about this trip.
You must book your tickets online, and you definitely need proper hiking boots. Now, if you don't have it, they will supply you with a pair. Unfortunately, the trail was shorter as the last part wasn't safe. I hope they wi...
