Portcoon Jetty — Attraction in Northern Ireland

Beautiful but In Need of Maintenance

My recent walking route to the Causeway was a bit of a mixed bag, leaving me with conflicting feelings about the overall experience. While the scenery was breathtaking and offered glimpses of natural beauty, there were a couple of notable issues that dampened my enjoyment.

First and foremost, I must address the condition of some wooden steps along the route. To put it bluntly, they were in an extremely shoddy and rotten state. This was not only disappointing but also potentially dangerous. I strongly urge the Causeway Coast and Glens Council to prioritize the repair and maintenance of these steps. It is vital that these issues are promptly addressed to ensure the safety of walkers and prevent any accidents or injuries.

Additionally, during my walk, I encountered a rather disturbing sight that left me puzzled. I came across a cow nursing her calf, which is a common and heartwarming occurrence in nature.

Also a good idea to stop and admire the view rather than take your eyes off the uneven grass path which has loose stones and rabbit holes and avoid nose-diving...

The most majestic experience you can get on a bright and sunny day. Walk around the cliffs edge and let the breeze of history fill your lungs as you trek down the laid path along the causeway coast. Be sure to look down onto the green slope leading to the Jetty. Stop by the RAF memorial and pay your respects to the pilots who lost their lives. When you reach the green, be sure to stop and lay in the grass and...
