Walk the Antrim hills with someone who knows every fold, path and story in them...
The Antrim Rambler’s guided hill-walks take you up the high ground of County Antrim, from Trostan and the Antrim Arderins to the lesser-known summits most visitors never hear of, led by Cecil Stirling, one of the most experienced hillwalkers this county has produced. These aren’t generic hill days; every route is shaped around the history and folklore bound up in this landscape, so you come down knowing the place, not just having ticked off the height. Whether you’re after a steady first hill or a proper test of legs and lungs, there’s a walk pitched right for you, and you’ll be in the hands of a guide who’s spent a lifetime getting to know this ground.
Environmental Preservation
The Antrim Rambler is strictly Leave No Trace Certified. Environmental preservation is a foundational, non-negotiable principle of every journey we undertake. Participants are required to maintain the absolute integrity of the fragile bog and mountain ecosystems of Northern Ireland, ensuring that our presence leaves no physical impact on the landscape.
Mandatory Equipment
The unpredictable Northern Irish climate demands strict preparation to ensure safety on the open hills. All participants must arrive equipped with robust, fully waterproof hiking boots featuring deep tread, high-quality layered clothing including wind and waterproof outerwear, a supportive backpack, and sufficient personal provisions including a packed lunch and water.
Safety
Beyond the physical requirements of the terrain, your safety remains the primary focus of every excursion. Our operations are supported by current, certified Sports First Aid training, specifically tailored for the complexities of remote outdoor environments. This ensures that every guided journey into the Antrim uplands is managed with a high level of technical preparedness and clinical awareness, allowing you to focus entirely on the landscape.
