Route Description for Cushendun Road Walk

If you have been searching for a laid back adventure along the Antrim Coast that offers some nice views but won’t be too hard on the legs, then look no further than the Cushendun Road Walk. This scenic adventure utilizes quiet roadways to make travel easier and allow you to focus on the views.

After a short distance, follow Glendun Road as it branches off to the left and heads into the valley to the southwest.

Once you are on the opposite bank, you will make your way to the southeast while enjoying the views of the surrounding hills, keeping left onto Knocknacarry Road.
