Where should you park when visiting Kinbane Castle?

The practical answer

For **Kinbane Castle**, use the **Kinbane Castle car park on Whitepark Road, BT54 6LP**. Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council identifies the car park at the site, and the Department for Communities manages the historic monument.

Do not try to get closer by car. The castle sits dramatically below the road on a narrow headland, and the final approach is on foot.

The bigger issue here is not parking distance but terrain: Kinbane has **steep drops, steps and exposed ground**. Allow enough time to get back up to the car, particularly with children or anyone who finds steep climbs difficult.

The car park is small, so in peak season it is better to return later than create unsafe roadside overflow on Whitepark Road.
