What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Ballycastle (Ballykessel/ Baile an Chaistil), there are a few things you need to know... 

The route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.

Bring your four-legged friends along! This Trail is along a dog-friendly route.

The closest car park to the Trail start point is on the harbour near the Rathlin Island Ferry Ltd building (BT54 6BT), where your investigation begins.

We recommend checking for any outdoor events in Ballycastle’s calendar before setting off on your adventure, as some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions.

There are public toilets available at the start and end of the Trail, and there are chances to grab refreshments in the town. A play park is available after Clue 07, and the beach is reached at Clue 10.

Looking for more things to do in Ballycastle? Make a day of it and take a trip out to Rathlin Island (Racherie/ Reachlainn), or see other local sites from the water on a boat tour. Or, head out of town to visit some of the north coast’s top sights and attractions, like Carrick-a-Rede (Carraig a'Ráid) to the west and Fair Head (An Bhinn Mhór) to the east.
