The Gobbins Cliff Path best embodies Berkeley Deane Wise's genius as an engineer working to help ordinary people enjoy extraordinary experiences.

Construction began in 1901, and the first section – a pathway from the nearby village of Ballystrudder to the base of the cliffs – opened in August 1902.

Wise's vision of tunnels and bridges spanning the cliffs was more challenging to realise.

The steel girder bridges were built in Belfast, brought to Whitehead on barges and manoeuvred up the coast on rafts. Workers winched them into place on lines dropped from the clifftop.

The Gobbins is home to Northern Ireland's only mainland colony of puffins, which burrow into the cliff-side soils churned up by the glaciers.

Guillemots, razorbills, cormorants, and kittiwakes make their homes high in the rocks and scan the waters from perches on the sea stacks. The depths teem with fish, feeding in the plankton-rich waters of the North Channel. Lions Mane jellyfish, one of the largest such species, migrate through here, providing prey for seals, porpoise and other marine mammals.
