Rathlin Island

Northern Ireland’s only inhabited offshore island offers cliff scenery, lighthouse history, wildlife and quiet walking routes.

Why visit in summer

A rewarding seasonal stop.

The seabird season and expanded visitor services make late spring and summer especially valuable.

What to look for

  • Rathlin West Light
  • Seabird centre
  • Rue Point
  • Church Bay

Plan it well

Confirm ferry, bus and visitor-centre times. Wildlife presence and access arrangements change through the season.
