Join us for a guided walk along the breathtaking Orlock coastal path — where sea views meet secret coves and nature thrives at every turn.

🦋 Discover windswept wildflowers, soaring seabirds, and the hidden history of this rugged stretch between Groomsport and Donaghadee.
💬 Along the way, our ranger will share stories of local wildlife, coastal legends, and tips on how to explore without leaving a mark.

👣 Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just fancy a scenic stroll, this walk offers fresh air, stunning views, and a deeper connection to nature.

Step Into the Wild at Orlock with a Ranger ramble along the dramatic coastline.

Orlock Ranger Ramble

As part of the Festival of Archaeology, step back in time with us on an unforgettable low-tide trek across the ancient mudflats of Greyabbey.

👣 This isn’t just a walk — it’s a journey through history, where you’ll discover how our ancestors survived and thrived in this wild, shifting landscape. Learn how this remarkable habitat was used in the past, and how we’re working today to protect it for the future.

🏝️ Expect squelchy mud, uneven drumlins, shallow pools — and a well-earned break with your packed lunch on a remote tidal island.

⚠️ Designed for fit adults and adventurous teens, this guided ramble is a physically demanding but deeply rewarding experience.

🧤 What to bring:
✔️ Wellies
✔️ Packed lunch
✔️ A sense of adventure

Join our rangers on a walk across mudflats onto the islands and back.
