POV of a Northern Ireland Coastal Gem (and I'd never even heard of it!) Welcome to The Gobbins...

[@donathandorko]

Things like this are little nuggets of youtube gold. And to think it only came about by having a few hours to spare between journeys. This is the glory of travel and exploration.

[@steve-marsh]

So true! I've been guilty in the past of maybe just sitting around bored waiting for the next connection, but this is the way to spend a few spare hours eh! :)

[@markgourley3745]

Brilliant video Steve. The Gobbins path was constructed as a tourist attraction over 100 years ago before falling into disrepair. I can remember going down to it in the 70's when we stayed at a rented cottage that my grandparents had a few miles away, but you could only go a little way on it. We spent all summer down on Islandmagee and it was the best place to be a kid. Theres a walk from Whitehead station along the seafront to the lighthouse that is a lovely walk too and not that far from the Gobbins. One thing you didnt seem to do was go into the Rinkha and have an ice cream which is a home made recipe and imo the best ice cream going...but im biased lol

[@steve-marsh]

Amazing info but sound like I missed a trick with the ice cream! It was well deserved too!

[@davidfoy3911]

Steve missed out by not getting ice cream in the Rinkha😂. Another great video though👍

[@kathrynpatterson6565]

Pretty much what I was going to say blackhead path and Rhinka ice cream

Walking with you via utbe is super 🎉I feel like I'm there😂

That was an excellent tourist experience. Well done NI for investing so much in creating such a safe and interesting adventure. Thanks Steve for doing the walking (and filming)

[@ve2vfd]

Wow! What a spectacular coastal cliff walk. They did an awesome job setting up that trail and it looks well worth the detour to visit.

[@steve-marsh]

Aye, very last-minute decision, but a good one!

[@abrahamdozer6273]

I noticed the pitons in the rock face all along so they have a backup plan when stuff happens.

[@blokeon1100]

I've done the gobbins many times. It's great when the tide is in and waves come up under the bridges making you want to time your crossing to avoid a soaking. 😆

[@Tip_Top]

Reminds me more of the Dumfries and Ayrshire coast than the Fife Coast. Looks fab - I love these wee trips to N. Ireland.

[@RobertCauley]

Great video Steve. We will be in Belfast in late Sept, and the Gobbins is on our list. This will be our sixth trip from the States and We cant wait.

[@joiegates3623]

Found you a few weeks ago and I've been addicted to watching. First time I've commented. The Gobbins are amazing ! I live in a small tourist town in SW Colorado, USA and don't get out of the mountains too often. Watching your travels has been a breath of fresh air and good way for me to arm chair travel during the winter months ! Thank you for all the work that goes into what you do. Much appreciated ~

[@kwaggapoot9834]

I've been living here in NI for allmost 15 years and you could not have chosen a better day for your video. Brilliantly done

[@respectedgentleman4322]

Another excellent video. You're really making me view Northern Ireland in a different way. It's so much more than just the troubles, and another great place to visit on these fair isles. Must get there at some point and I got a lot of ideas of where to go thanks to you Steve.

[@steve-marsh]

I must admit, my first trip outside Belfast when I went to Rathlin was a real eye-opener! NI is STUNNING!!!

[@sallyelling9329]

Was a wonderful video, would have loved to be able to do the walk in my younger days, just round the supermarkets is all I can do now. Keep up the good work.

[@leeroy265]

Me, my partner and 12 year old boy just completed the walk on Tuesday! ....LOVED IT

[@Thomas-cp6qe]

An awesome walk. The view out to sea is spectacular as long as you can negotiate the twisting and turning pathway. I'd be frightened of having a panic attack so thanks for completing the walk for me Steve.

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers Thomas! :)

[@TheNgandrew]

I am ashamed to say I have never visited any part of Ireland, and considering Northern Ireland is, as at the time of writing, part of the same country as I live in, I am particularly ashamed. You've shown many wonderful parts of Northern Ireland in various videos, and this one makes me want to go there more than ever. I am sure I can persuade my wife and kids that it's a great idea. Thanks.

I hope you make the trip Nigel, I'm sure you'd all love it :)

[@elaineabrol4906]

Steve, thanks so much for sharing this amazing POV video! I live a little bit up the coast from The Gobbins in Carrickfergus and it's a place I always wanted to visit. Unfortunately as I have MS I would not be able to do the walk but this morning I was able to take the journey through your eyes and it was awesome 🙏

[@steve-marsh]

So glad you came along with me Elaine! I have many more adventures to do on your wonderful coastline!

[@DamienMcAvoy]

Amazing. I’ve never done the Gobbins and now it’s on my to do list. Oh and you should have gone into the Rhinka for an ice cream!!

[@steve-marsh]

Oh a few folks have said that - missed opportunity! :(

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Great video, Steve. I saw this on TV a few years ago, and then promptly forgot about it. I wonder how the walk would have been a century ago before Health & Safety insisted on hard hats, fences and grip bars. Cool stuff.

[@steve-marsh]

Haha you're right Scott! I must admit I banged my head a couple of times! :)

[@BigTubz]

The POV style meant less gabbin and more Gobbin... Brilliant video Steve. If you ever venture westward, The Marble Arch Caves in Fermanagh might be of interest to you. You could combine it with Cuilcagh Mountain Boardwalk Trail also nicknamed the Stairway to Heaven Walk. Both of these are must does for visitors to Fermanagh. Might be van job though, public transport is limited "west of the Bann"

[@janer2709]

And a boat trip on Lough Erne

[@steve-marsh]

Oh thanks so much for all of this!!!

[@barvdw]

If you can give some tentative hours for buses, I might be interested as well (I don't have a driving licence). And some recommendations on where to stay... I have free train travel, but buses are not too expensive, so...

[@BigTubz]

@@barvdw There are hourly buses from the international airport and I'm pretty sure it's the same from the city, I think it's Ulsterbus number 261. Either would be less than 2 hours travel time. Belmore court motel in Enniskillen would be a budget friendly base, don't be fooled by the name, I've stayed in worse hotels for 3 times the price. The owner Terry will be extremely welcoming. If you're set on a hotel, the Manor house or Killhevlin. Plenty of Airbnb options too. Plenty to keep you busy around the county town. Couple of beautiful national trust houses, Florencecourt, Castlecoole and Castle Archdale. Enniskillen castle, Devenish Island and a pint of G in the beautiful Victorian era pub, Blakes of the hollow.

[@CorkCelt68]

The stairs are a must visit

[@romac9516]

One thing I like most about your tours is the inclusion of all the environmental noises, it's tempting to tone them down in editing but it's so atmospheric

[@cindi7955]

Of all the walks I've seen done by every day people 🙂this one takes the cake with candles added, too! Wow! I wonder if some people 'freeze' on it. It is beyond amazing and another reason why I love and adore your channel as this is what you deliver when you have a few hours between transportation times. This channel has been a God send for me to see places and travel on different transport options that are now not open to me. You are top notch!

[@merryannmac8096]

Ah, the Sweet Gobbins! Interesting information on where we were going and how to get there. I loved the play of the light from the sea against the black stones. It was almost like we were fairies flitting about! Wonderful walk and talk! Merry Ann from Minnesota

Yay! You're back in Northern Ireland and at the lovely north coast, too. 25+ trips to NI and I haven't done The Gobbins Path yet and, I think with my knee issue, it won't be happening for me so I'm super happy you took us along with you. Most of our trips to NI we use public transit and (knock wood!) have found it clean and efficient. We haven't done the Belfast to the Causeway train journey yet which is supposed to be gorgeous. Glad you had a great time. PS we don't talk about PO ferries either, we're Stena people. :) - Sandi & Greg H.

[@carolcraddock957]

[@FlashyVic]

You can also get the train for the Gobbins from Lanyon Place Station (formerly Belfast Central) which is far, far handier to the city centre than Yorkgate.

[@stanislavkostarnov2157]

though somehow a very enchantedly-Celtic landscape it reminds me in spirit of place of the Tottori-Iwaki-coast (a somewhat remote piece of west-Japanese coastline)... That footpath weaves through tiny crevices, that form the edge of what are literally cliffs and small hill sized boulders, covered in a sparse forest of millennia old natural "giant bonsai" (mostly pines, cedar, & camphor-trees) that look semi-petrified by time. a uniquely beautiful and alien place.. the main difference, it's unguided, 12miles long, & neither the path, nor the multiple 50ft-200ft ladders, nor the bridges (most of which are just wooden planks between one boulder and another), are fenced... though you have well maintained chains or rope to hold onto to all the way... the day I went was early autumn, so the weather was in around 35 Celsius, it was truly beautiful with a lightly misty sky & the deep aquamarine blue of the Japanese Sea... the fragrance of hot rock, sea-salt & pine resin was beyond description, as were the geological formations & remote tiny coral beaches along the way... by the end of it, I nearly collapsed onto the bus seat... it did not feel along the way, but in summary, the trek took me about 14 hours, & I was truly totally absolutely knackered!!!!

[@steve-marsh]

There's a place I just know I'd love! Thanks so much for the comment and inspiration mate!

[@lorlabear]

Steve - thanks for coming to our part of County Antrim! Your train will have passed by our house just as it left Whiteabbey (first station after Yorkgate)! We really enjoyed the video. When you come back to the Gobbins you need to check out the Rinka at Ballystrudder for ice cream. You may also be interested to learn that the Gobbins Path was part of the complex of attractions which the Belfast & Northern Counties Railway had to encourage passengers to travel to Whitehead (the station befoer Ballycarry). Before the railway came Whitehead didn't exsist! The B&NCR constructed a prom, the path to Blackhead Lighhouse (you can stay in the lightkeepers' cottages nowadays) and the Gobbins. I'm told that they brought a train-load of sand from Portrush to make a beach , and that more folk went to the Gobbins than travelled to the Giants Causeway at a time. In fact so many were going that the railway had to make a special Excursion Station at Whitehead to accommodate the trains. That site is now home to the Railway Presevation Society of Ireland, and from there we run steam excursions occasionally. I'm a volunteer tour guide at whitehead Railway Museum and we'd love to see you (or any other viewers) any Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Brian

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers Brian! Gutted I missed that world famous ice cream! Some beautiful wee places on that coastline I’m jealous! Thanks for the tips as well :)

Great video , Northern Ireland is firmly on my bucket list. Was intrigued by your comment about P and O ferries though. Maybe I missed previous comments about them or a bad experience you had with them but I’m suspecting it maybe to do with the appalling way they treated their employees recently

Amazing video mate! Definitely trying this in the summer when we’re over in NI after seeing this. Islandmagee is a little gem of a place, Browns Bay (on the sign at 3:44) is a lovely sandy bay and Ballylumford close by is a great place to watch Larne Port!
