Dunluce Castle

Let me tap everywhere.

Now, this same day, you guys went to Dunluce Castle.

So tell us about that.

I feel like that is something.

It is awful in the extreme to witness from a boat on the water persons passing and repassing at this giddy height, and a feeling of anxiety closely allied to pain is invariably experienced by those who contemplate the apparently imminent danger to which poor people are exposed while thus lightly treading the dangerous and narrow footway which conducts them across the gulf that yawns beneath their feet.

Passing under the bridge right through the chasm in which the water will be found much smoother and the tide less rapid than at the outer side of the island, the tourist may proceed along the coast through the strait which separates Sheep Island from the mainland as far as Dunseverick, or if the weather will permit... proceeding to Ben Gore Head, of which there is a sublime view from the water, and from which point there is a splendid panoramic prospect of the entire line of coast on the western side of this great headland, including Dunluce Castle and the several promontories and capes of which the causeway is composed.

The island of Rathlin or Raghaire The island of Rathlin or Raghaire lies about seven miles and a half from the shore, is rather more than six miles in length and one in breadth, measuring two thousand plantation acres and containing about eleven hundred inhabitants, who are almost all occupied in agricultural pursuits and the making of kelp from the seaweed found on the rocks of which the island is composed.

The people are simple, laborious and honest, and possess a degree of affection for the island that may very much surprise a stranger.
