Rathlin is a small
island off the north coast of Antrim that is accessed by passenger
ferry from Ballycastle. The ferry to Rathlin Island travels just six
miles across the "Sea of Moyle". This island is six miles long, one
mile wide, "L" shaped and home to a small population of around
seventy people. In the
harbour is the Boathouse, where visitors can discover some of the
exciting history, learn about present day island life and see some
artefacts from shipwrecks around the island. A short walk around to
Mill Bay there is a colony of seals, who are fun to just sit and
watch! In the summer
Rathlin is made up of birdwatchers, botanists, sea-anglers and those
who just want to get away from it all and admire it's rugged scenery
and spectacular views, observe it's seals and explore its sea caves.
Rathlin's many wrecks also makes it a popular destination for
divers. |
