Join our countryside rangers and have a go at some stone wall repairs at Ballyconaghan, on Rathlin Island

You’ll learn a traditional countryside skill and finish the day off with a short guided walk looking at wildlife, plants and the fabulous views from the north-eastern side of the island.

There is a walk of approximately 15 minutes from the ferry terminal to the site and you will be lifting stones, so please wear sturdy boots and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty – and bring some waterproofs in case of rain!
