Designation is not an access right

Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty status exists to conserve the landscape. It creates no right to walk, roam or camp: what you may do on the ground is set by the ordinary access law of Northern Ireland, plus any local byelaws and restrictions.

The short version for Northern Ireland — right to roam: No general right to roam. Wild camping: Permission needed everywhere. This is general information, not legal advice.

No listed summits inside the boundary

Our hill list is drawn from the established British and Irish hill lists — Munros, Corbetts, Grahams, Donalds, Wainwrights, Hewitts, Nuttalls and county tops — and no summit inside the Causeway Coast boundary appears in it. That is a statement about our dataset, not about the walking: many designated landscapes are valued for coast, downland or moor rather than for summits those lists recognise.
