Belfast Lough Coastal Walk Ahead of August Bank Holiday Weekend

24th July 2012

#BELFAST LOUGH - The Ulster Wildlife Trust has announced details of a coastal walk around Belfast Lough next Thursday ahead of the August Bank Holiday weekend.

The guided coastal walk will follow the picturesque coastal toe-path from Whitehead Harbour to Blackhead, led by Kerri Whiteside from the trust's Living Seas Team and Ben Simon, biodiversity officer with Carrickfergus Borough Council.

The leisurely walk will stop en-route at various points to investigate the rocky, sandy, cobbly and muddy shores where seaweed, sea shells and anemones are waiting to be discovered.

The walk will depart from Whitehead Harbour in Larne, Co Antrim at 3pm on Thursday 2 August. Booking is not required for this free event, which is part of the celebrations for the UK's National Marine Week.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.
