The first steps towards completing a £1.5m tourism investment on the north coast have been taken.
Rural Affairs Minister Edwin Poots cut the first sod on a new project at Magheracross Viewpoint on the north coast.
When complete, the new Causeway Coast Walking Trail will stretch from Portstewart to Ballycastle and will include two new viewing platforms extending out to the edge of the cliffs, maximising the stunning views of Whiterocks beach and Dunluce Castle.
New pathways will be constructed, along with parking facilities and soft landscaping.
Mr Poots said: “Tourism is vitally important to our rural economy and the competitive nature of the tourism marketplace, over the next few years, cannot be underestimated.
“This area will serve as another must-see destination for tourists arriving to our stunning north coast.”
