Geocache Description:

This is a fantastic location in Islandmagee and will be enjoyed by everyone.

In Northern Ireland railway magnate Dean Berkeley Wise constructed the most audacious cliff walk in these islands - nearly three miles of heart-stopping paths, bridges and tunnels along the magnificent Gobbins cliffs, just a few feet above the waves of the Irish Sea.


Opened in 1902, the Gobbins Cliff Path was an immediate hit with the tourists, and remained one of Northern Ireland's most popular attractions until the outbreak of the Second World War caused its closure.

Today The Gobbins is derelict, inaccessible and forgotten. But it remains an amazing testament to the Victorian entrepreneurial spirit, which still brings so many of us to the coast. It is not open to the public. Although the walk is not along the Gobbins path there are still some dangerous drops by the walk so if you have kids with you keep a hold of their hands.

A cache close to this one is Jingwe's 'Gobbins Walk', it would be a shame not to find it whilst looking for this cache!!
