Come and hunt for hidden Herring out and about around the Rathlin harbour area.

This is walking trail of 7 beautifully hand knit fish made as part of the yarn bombing for the Rathlin Sound Maritime Festival. This hunt is a great, non strenuous walking trail suitable for young and old and usually takes about an hour to complete.
