Enjoy the spring air at Carrick-a-Rede on the North Coast

Spring is a great time of year for walking and exploring our places to visit.

After the trees have shed their leaves and the winter frosts have departed, the landscape takes on a new and more dynamic appearance. It's the time of year when the great outdoors beckons to us and with 120 miles of coastline and over 40 square miles of scenic countryside in our care in Northern Ireland, there's lots to explore.

It's time to go walking.
