The Antrim Rambler Guided Walks: Agnews Hill, Sallagh Braes and Knock Dhu

Agnews Hill, The Sallagh Braes and Knock Dhu

When: 4th April 2026 at 11am

Starting with the prehistoric ramparts of Knock Dhu and working our way toward the heights of Agnews Hill is easily one of the most rewarding days we can lead you on. We begin with that bracing climb onto the ancient promontory, where the history of the plateau feels almost tangible beneath our boots. From there, we hit our stride along the sweeping curve of the Sallagh Braes; it’s a brilliant stretch of landscape where the cliffs drop away to our side and the views across the Irish Sea are nothing short of spectacular.

The journey reaches its crescendo at the top of Agnews Hill, the highest point in the area, and reaching that summit feels like a proper win. There’s a fantastic sense of scale as we look back over the ground we’ve covered, seeing the dramatic basalt edges carving their way along the coast. Then all that is left is to cross the long rugged crest of the hill and make the final descent towards Ballyboley Forest…
