Exploring Northern Ireland and Scotland on foot

Places to explore as a foot passenger
Northern Ireland

Larne Port offers great transport links for foot passengers. You'll arrive directly into the terminal which connects you almost immediately to rail and bus services, making it easy to explore the Antrim coast or head straight into the city of Belfast. 

Carnfunnock Country Park is easily reachable via a short bus ride. Featuring a huge estate, walled gardens, woodland walks and a hedge maze, it's a great place to wonder and explore. If you're looking to explore the city, a direct train from Larne to Belfast will have you in the center of Belfast in under an hour, so you can enjoy world class music festivals, tasty local food and maritime history. Plan your trip to Northern Ireland with our guide!

Don't miss: Several guided hiking excursions and walking experiences are available in Northern Ireland. A great way to meet like-minded people and share experiences with others travelling on foot.

Scotland

Frequent bus services regularly link the port of Cairnryan to nearby Stranraer, providing foot passengers with a quick connection to Scotland’s wider transport network. From here you can access direct links to Glasgow and the coastal towns of Dumfries and Galloway.

Head North and you'll find the beautiful county of Ayrshire, blending dramatic coastlines with rolling hills and reliable transport links. You'll also find iconic landmarks and small local museums. Head south of the port and you can explore castles, world famous gardens and the pastel coloured seaside village of Portpatrick.

Don’t Miss: The Ayrshire coastal path - miles of the finest panoramic coastlines in the British Isles, with plenty of opportunities to stop and explore coastal towns.
