Explore beyond our gates

One of the joys of bringing your wedding to Magheramorne Estate is the opportunity to explore this beautiful part of Northern Ireland.

The estate sits at the gateway to the Antrim coast. A short drive brings you to the coastal path between Whitehead and Blackhead Lighthouse, with sea views, fresh air and the chance to properly switch off. Nearby, The Gobbins offers a more adventurous experience, with a dramatic walkway carved into the cliffs.

For something simpler, there are quiet spots for sea swimming at Portmuck Harbour and Browns Bay, or a relaxed wander through nearby towns such as Carrickfergus, home to one of the best preserved castles in Ireland.
