A long winding downhill drive greets you as you pass through the main gate, apply caution when entering. Before you commence, check for upcoming vehicles. The meandering metalled single track passes the first camping area, a small sloping paddock with good views into the minor Glen, then upwards to Ballypatrick forest and beyond the mountains of Knocklayd and Croaghan. Drive on, through the farmyard, turn right into the second camping area, hard standings, hook-ups, well drained. Tent ground is a little further on, level, picnic tables, sheltered and private. The field of vision is limited to around a hundred yards. Far from boring, pitch your van etc., look west over the pond and survey for the wildlife on the edge of the woods.

The museum, serves as a meeting place for campers in the evening, cosy open fire, full of olde world charm, plenty of exhibits on display, just what's needed to prompt a conversation between strangers.

Fishing.
Game Angling to be found locally, no coarse fishing. Sea angling trips from Ballycastle, spinning from the rocky coast east of Ballycastle Rock pools to explore with the little ones. As the name suggests, Watertop is an open working farm with a difference. Pony trekking, boating, walks, waterfall, assault course, shearing, livestock paddocks. Paddiwagon history trail takes you around the farm and surrounding area on the back of an old bullnose Bedford. Tip, take a cushion with you.
