Walking the North Down Coastal Path

[RedLeader]

I walked the North Down Coastal Path yesterday. Is 14.6 miles from Holywood to a layby between Groomsport and Donaghadee and forms part of the Ulster Way. Another 3 miles after that gets you to Donaghadee for chips (or a refreshing beer). It's an excellent walk (on the flat!) with a decent path most of the way. I'll post some piccies when I get some feeling back in my feet - 17.5 miles was harder than I was expecting!

Looks a good walk man. I worked along it for a while there a few months back seen loads of people going along it and like clockwork every morning, at 8am, an old guy about 70 going round it in a sea kayak. Might have to give it a go soon

Regards,

I might do that walk next week. Is it well sign posted or do I need a map?

No need for a map or sense of direction, just keep the sea on you left (or right depending on direction) 
If you want maps though, head over to the Walk NI website and then to the Ulster Way section, you can pick up maps of the route there for free.
Its a nice wee walk alright, you can keep on going until Milisle before you have to start road walking, with no pavement.

Thanks for the help. Useful maps

I think I'm going to do this again on Sat (9th Jan) if anyone's interested.

Unfortunately I'm working next Saturday otherwise I would have joined you. I did the walk from Groomsport to Holywood today and it was enjoyable. Even the sand was frozen.
