Posters using the phrase ‘Rathlin - a world away for a day’ highlight the fact that it is Northern Ireland’s only populated off-shore island but within six miles of the coast a day trip is easily fitted in.

Posters produced with the backing of Rathlin Island Ferry Ltd and the Department of Regional Development say: ‘The tranquil island is famous for seabirds and is rich in history and natural beauty. We’ll take you there faster and with more daily crossings than ever before.’

The Rathlin ferry timetable starts on April 1.
