Kinbane Head is a Northern Irish peninsula in County Antrim. Located not far from the Giant’s Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede Bridge, the site takes the form of a promontory bordering the ocean. A magnificent show, not to be missed if you’re passing through!

Visit Kinbane Head

A castle and rocks facing the ocean

Kinbane Head is worth a visit for 2 reasons: firstly, for its ruined castle, rather unknown to tourists, but also for its rocky promontory, allowing you to overlook the waters! No vertigo!

Access to Kinbane Head is free and easy. However, don’t forget to wrap up warm: it’s windy and wet whatever the season!

Follow the signposted path to the ruins of Kinbane Castle and the promontory. Take care as you go along: the path narrows as you go, and it’s not exactly safe. At the far end, you can enjoy an exceptional view of the ocean and the rocks, constantly swept by the waves!

A must-see!
