The position of the train station depicted in the 1905 Ordnance Survey (this track dates to 1909) indicates that the east half of this track section is not accurate. A detailed trackplan dating from the 1960s also indicates this to be so.

Both plans are available on the County Donegal Railway.

An aerial photograph of the area dating from the 1970s is available on the 1st Battalion Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment website.

Hi,
Although not an official cycleway this path is closed for cars most of the time. To cycle from Deestreet to Holywood it is the much preferred cycle route.

This section needs surveyed. The current layout makes no sense.

What is claimed to be St. Patrick's Footprint is carved out of the rocks just alongside the Springboards swimming area. Legend has it he stamped his foot on the rock when he heard that the people of Skerries had eaten his pet goat!! A more likely story is that in days gone by footsteps were carved out in memory of famous people (like the Hollywood custom). Of course, it could also be an accidental rock formation! The good saint was, it appears, a regular visitor to the island that now bears his name just offshore here.

Check interface between this access road and the bypass. Under or over bridge seems likely, or perhaps a left-in-left-out junction.
