Torr Head Scenic Road

A narrow clifftop alternative to the Causeway Coast, with Scotland in view.

Torr Road is the wild alternative to the main Causeway Coastal Route between Cushendun and Ballycastle, clinging to the clifftops high above the sea past Torr Head, the closest point in Ireland to Scotland with the Mull of Kintyre on the horizon. It is steep, narrow and tightly twisting in places, a proper test rather than a relaxed coast cruise. Mind extremely narrow single-track with sharp blind crests, steep gradients dropping toward the sea, and oncoming traffic with few passing places.
