Ballywalter Beach

Highlight • Rest Area

Beautiful Ballywalter Beach! Lovely spot to stop and appreciate the white sand and the view. There are also some sculptures on the promenade and plenty of good ice cream shops on the sea front too.

Tip by

Ruins of a 12th century Cistercian monastery. A lovely way to spend a few hours exploring the history. It's a open site which can be visited any time, but the small visitors centre is open for a few hours at the weekend.

Stump Road

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Good climb out of, or descent into, Ballywalter. The view is great whichever way you go, but the effort is a little bit different!!
