So beautiful. Should have worn walking boots as quite muddy in places but it was really enjoyable. A very picturesque spot and a good walk

10 minutes from home and you feel like your in the middle of nowhere.

Great place to get away from it for an hour or so. My best time is just after sun up when only a few are out and about.

A wonderful place to walk and enjoy a little peace and quiet, just a few minutes drive from Carrickfergus town centre. There are a number of good stoned paths, along with some grass paths which tend to be a bit muddy, and there are some forest trails which are usually dry and covered in leaf litter. You can walk around the edge of the upper reservoir, although the path is extremely muddy in a number of sections, and is probably best avoided in wet weather unless you've got walking boots on. The middle reservoir is surrounded by excellent stoned paths, and although you may find the occasional puddle or muddy section, these shouldn't be too much of a problem to skirt round. The lower reservoir can be walked around, and while one side has benefited from a new stone path and little timber bridges, the other side is a grass path which will be be muddy in all but the driest weather. Again, it's not a problem of you're in walking boots, but if you're just out for a stroll in your Sunday best, I'd avoid it and stick to a loop of the middle reservoir. It's dissapointing that so many people allow their dogs to foul the paths and don't lift it, so be careful where you walk, especially on the first few hundred metres along the path from the car park. Some other dog owners do bag their pet waste up, but seem to leave it sitting all over the place. It doesn't really spoil the walk, but there's just no need for it. This would be great place for walking with kids, even if it's with prams or strollers. Disabled users in a wheel chair could certainly get around the middle reservoir, but the main path, down to and back up might be a difficult. If you go in the mornings, you'll escape the worst of the midges and other flying/biting insects, whereas in the evening, they'll be out in full force.
