Ratlin Island and its harbour

A six mile boat ride from Ballycastle brings us to this Island for todays walk. We came in the white boat seen here but went back on that blue car ferry. Our walk was only a three or so miler to the Ratlin East Lighthouse. There was another lighthouse on the west of the Island but time dictated that we could not manage that. See PiP for alternative view.

‘Rathlin is the only inhabited offshore island of Northern Ireland, with a steadily growing population of approximately 150 people, and is the most northerly inhabited island off the coast of the island of Ireland. The reverse-L-shaped Rathlin Island is four miles (six kilometres) from east to west, and 2+1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) from north to south.’ WiKi
