The solitary Bishops Road at its point near Eagle Hill, due to its altitude, offers a very beautiful view not only of the surroundings and the coast but also of the road itself as it winds through the countryside and descends towards the coast on the horizon.

Manannan Mac Lir is mythical Irish sea god, said to be a warrior and king of the otherworld. The statue of this king is situated on a hill in the Binevenagh AONB, overlooking the channel toward Greencastle, providing some absoloutely breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside. After your energy-consuming journey up this hill you'll definitely need a rest, so take a seat and take it all in before heading back to your starting point.
