For attractions and activities
Everywhere in the Barrington Coast, the landscape doesn’t wait politely in the background. We’re famous for our nature… it’s the main event.
Mountains that catch the clouds. A coastline that runs from surf beaches to calm coastal lakes almost without pausing for breath. National parks with walks ranging from a gentle half-hour stroll to a full-day high-country adventure. Rivers you can kayak, fish, paddleboard or simply sit beside while something small and native watches you from the bank.
And then there’s everything else. The distillery tour. The wildlife sanctuary. The market that somehow becomes the whole morning. The motorcycle museum that surprises everyone who didn’t think they were interested in motorcycles. The surf lesson, the sailing course, the hands-on workshop where you make something and take it home.
Whatever kind of day you’re after, the Barrington Coast will match it. Probably with a good cafe at the end of it.
Get outside
Our extraordinary nature – it’s what we’re famous for. Walks, paddles, drives and everything that gets you into the landscape properly. The region is best experienced from inside it.
Tours and experiences
The distilleries, wildlife encounters, workshops and guided adventures worth booking ahead. Some of these fill up faster than you’d expect.
With the kids
Family-friendly activities, rainy day solutions and the places that make travelling with children genuinely enjoyable rather than merely survivable.
On the water
Kayaking, sailing, cruising, swimming and the kind of afternoons that go on longer than anyone planned.
Events and festivals
What’s on, when it’s on and why some of these are worth planning the whole trip around. Check the Barrington Coast calendar before you pack.
