Hi Jeanne,
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, and it is very special that you are thinking of honoring him by
walking the entire coastline from Belfast to Derry-Londonderry.
One of our other members named Oscar has planned a similar trip in 2019, and you can find some helpful information about his trip by
clicking here.
On the
Walk NI page, you can find an overview of all the available walking routes from Belfast along the
Causeway Coast and Glens to
County Derry-Londonderry. Not all of these routes connect via an off-road path, so sometimes you'll have to divert to the road. These usually will have a safe area for pedestrians, but it is always a good idea to wear clothes or gear that make you visible to drivers.
The Walk NI website also has a clear overview and map of all of the available routes.
Have you thought about where you'd like to spend the night during your trip? On the
following page, you can find an overview of recommended accommodation, and there are also some wonderful
tour operators who would be more than happy to help you plan the perfect trip.
I hope this will help you start planning, and we're always here to help if there's anything else you'd like to know! 💚
Melin
