Are we seeing things? This is a photo on sale from Aaron Martin Photography and Framing. Picked out in a line of snow there seems to be a trail up the cliff face. Reference to old images shows no trail there, no part of the path ever snaked up this section. Animals can wear down paths through regular use, but this is up a cliff. So, we think we're seeing things.

P.S. Aaron has other great images from the path, he takes photos, he frames photos, and he can send them all over the world. A copy of this one went to a new home in New Zealand.

Pop down for a coffee and enjoy a closer look at a fantastic collection of vintage military vehicles. A great day out for enthusiasts, families, and anyone who loves a bit of history!

Please take a few moments to complete this survey and mention the Blackhead Path. We would like a map showing the route at the entrance as many tourists don't know where to go and that you can walk right round. Also a view point map at the top. It would also be great if NIRailways could promote it as a place to visit.
Thanks

As Aerosmith used to sing, "take me to the other side."

Through the telescope - a lively look across Belfast Lough towards Black Head this afternoon.
Fresh northerly winds bringing a brisk feel on the water with scattered showers moving through. Conditions easing later.
