An 11km stretch of sand and surf and scenic walks with facilities for that perfect day out. Downhill is a Blue Flag Award Beach 2015. This beach is certified as an Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI) and is also Special Area of Conservation (SAC).

Mussenden Temple (fee not included)

If you do not want to do the Mussenden Temple, you can choose to see Downhills Beach instead.
Built in 1785 and located in the surroundings of Downhill Demesne near Castlerock, perches dramatically on a 120 ft cliff top with spectacular views westwards over Downhill Strand towards Magilligan Point and County Donegal and to the east Castlerock beach towards Portstewart, Portrush and Fair Head.

Both the Temple and surrounding views are among the most photographed scenes in Ireland. Over the years, the Temple itself was under danger of being lost to the sea due to the erosion of the cliff which brought Mussenden Temple ever closer to the edge. Want to risk it on the edge?
