Unfortunately, walking access is still a problem over there with numerous barbed wire and electric fences to negotiate along the route. I hope one day to see a designated route from the east light to the west light with stiles along the way to help walkers. The new shorter loops that have recently been established are a great start (e.g the Roonavoolin walk) but a long clifftop route could potentially be a walking jewel for the island.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000\">I managed to take this new photograph of the cliffs on my visit. Taken at sunset from the old coastguard lookout at Ballyconagan. This view shows approx 1\/3 of the route between the east and west lighthouses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ni-wild.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/rathlin-island.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-IN1pXBWz\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2546\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ni-wild.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/rathlin-island-600x392.jpg\" alt=\"rathlin-island\" width=\"600\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ni-wild.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/rathlin-island-600x392.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ni-wild.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/rathlin-island-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ni-wild.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/rathlin-island.jpg 820w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Original post is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ni-wild.co.uk\/forum\/meets-places-trips-and-reviews\/rathlin-island-view-of-the-northern-cliffs\/\">here<\/a>.
