The Gobbins cliff path in Mid and East Antrim has reopened to visitors for the new season. Mid and East Antrim Borough Council confirmed the restart after essential closure due to storm damage in January.

The site lies on the Causeway Coastal Route near Islandmagee. It features a 1.2-mile path with bridges, steps, and tunnels along the base of cliffs. Guided tours cover the area's natural features and industrial heritage.

Mayor Councillor Jackson Minford stated that visitors and locals missed the site during closure. He noted anticipation for its return and credited repair teams and contractors for prioritizing safety.

Minford added expectations for a strong season ahead with visitors welcomed back. Advance booking is advised for tours.

Official data shows 96% of surveyed visitors recommend the experience and 95% rate it good value. Visitors come from places including China, Australia, and Brazil.

The path dates to 1902, created by engineer Berkeley Deane Wise. Remnants of original Victorian bridges remain visible.
