This walk features several short interesting sections interspersed with more mundane walking. The seafront north of Seahill is a highlight with diverse shore habit, rocky coves and small rocky islets close to the shore where cormorants and seals can be often seen. A great spot to sit and watch (or even picnic weather permitting!)

This route starts at a Gothic train station, travels along a hidden wooded carriageway, meets the sea on a spectacular headland complete with big guns and lookouts, follows a varied coast including a ‘mini-Gobbins’ walk way and then turns inland for a final tree-lined section along minor paths to Seahill Station.

This easy and pleasant short walk starts at Carnalea Station and takes you to Bangor Seafront where refreshments may be appropriate, before returning via the train from Bangor station. There is a lot to see in a short distance – all the more reason to take your time and give the possibly familiar a second look.

An even shorter alternative is to start at the car park (or the nearby Bangor West Station) at Stricklands Glen and join the coast path at Smelt Mill bay.
