The path would then run for a mile or more along an undulating section of coast, skirting farmers' fields before reaching the spectacular 'cliff section' where visitors would enjoy bridges, tunnels and caves. It is this last section which became so famous and which is accessible today (by guided tour, leaving from The Gobbins visitor centre). Wise's map listed a series of new names for features along the cliffs, which he planned for visitors to explore – like Sandy Cave, the Man O'War stack and Otter Cave.

The steel framework is 70 feet in length and is composed of longitudinal angles and bars with 12 elliptical stiffeners"

Visitors can once again enjoy the 22-metre-long (72 ft) tunnel, including a section which runs below sea-level. Four of the new bridges are over 30 metres (98 ft) in length. The project has also improved on Wise’s original work with a new cliff-top path, which offers views stretching as far
