English: The Gobbins The Gobbins cliffs at Islandmagee.
This was a popular tourist destination in the first half of the twentieth century as a path, almost three miles long, had been built around the cliffs. This had been constructed by railway magnate Dean Berkeley Wise, attracting people to take the train from Belfast to Whitehead, opening in 1902. The path remained a hit with tourists until the outbreak of the Second World War forced its closure. It reopened for a time after the war but closed for good in 1962. Most of the path has now crumbled into the sea but it is possible to make out certain sections and features. Recently ambitious plans to reinstate the path have been unveiled - see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7606909.stm . This is a view of the cliffs from the water as seen from the Bangor Boat (see http://www.bangorboat.com/page4.html and 6847243 ) which runs regular trips to the cliffs in June each year, primarily to view the many birds that use the area as a nesting site. Birds seen include Puffins, Razorbills, Guillemots, Shags and Kittiwakes. Note that this picture was taken during on a very misty evening and visibility is normally much better.
