Enjoy a refreshing walk from Portrush to Portstewart, and admire magnificent views of the North Coast and beyond. This sweep of coastline was a graveyard for ships in the olden days; the last sail-powered ship was lost here in 1931. Evidence of wrecks and rescues still lingers. Following part of the Ulster Way, and Causeway Coast Way visit the grave of the Unknown Sailor and see where the Hermit of Seaview lived. Care must be taken going past Ballyreagh and Portstewart golf courses
The starting point for this series of caches is best started from the West Strand car park Portrush and following the Port path coastal walk towards Portstewart. Which should be sign posted. This walk however is not wheelchair accessible and care should be taking as some of the path is close to the cliff edge
Ths is the grave of an unknown and un-named sailor whose body ended up on the shore 100 feet away in the 1800′s. His last resting place is tucked away under the cliffs near Juniper hill and few if any people know he is there, many local people have never heard of this wee grave monument.
It remains to this day well tended and looked after by someone
The cache is a small tab lock box in a black sack, containing a log and pencil and a few swaps. Care should be taken with young ones as this is quite close to the cliff edge. This is an extremley high muggle area in the summer months, so stealth will be required. Please replace cache well tucked in. These first five caches should take approx 1hr30 - 2hrs to complete..
