Red Trail, Giant's Causeway

Formal path, hard core gravel surfaces, uneven in places, single track in places, 162 steep stone steps ('Shepherd's Steps') with handrail, uneven and with various depths. Please be aware of unfenced cliff edges, high winds, steep steps and rock falls.

At 4.5 km, this is a short, accessible outing suitable for most fitness levels. Expect to complete it in around 1 hour at a comfortable pace.

The route forms a complete loop, returning you to where you started. This makes logistics simple and the outing entirely self-contained.

Part of the Local Walking Network (LWN), this trail is ideal for exploring the neighbourhood landscape. It is typically well-known to local walkers and offers an authentic sense of place.
