Beschreibung
The easy Antrim Castle Gardens river path runs between Clotworthy House (free car park and a coffee shop) and the Gateway at Lough Neagh (also with free car park and coffee shop). You are next to the river the whole route. You will see at least a couple of Graureiher fishing, and usually Gebirgsstelze near the stone bridge at one end. I see Eisvogel about 50% of the time. The parts closest to Lough Neagh are overrun with Lachmöwe.
Summer sees Uferschwalbe and Rauchschwalbe along the river and the adjacent wildflower meadow, with Flußseeschwalbe along the shore. Winter time brings Haubentaucher into the river from Lough Neagh, plus otters if you're there early enough. Also keep an eye out for Kormoran, the Höckerschwan nesting in the Spring, plus the usual assortment of robins, wrens, tits and thrushes. Listen out for the Fasan half way along the path.
Finally, you can take a stroll in the woods around Clotworthy House and try to spot the Waldbaumläufer.

Antrim Castle Gardens River Path is very close to Antrim Town Centre, well served by buses and the train station is only a 10 minute walk away. There are free car parks either end. Press a P on the map for directions. Figure on spending a nice couple of hours along the river path and also the woods.
