Glenariff is one of nine valleys in the Glens of Antrim. These impressive glens were created by glaciers millions of years ago during the Ice Age and shaped by the tides. Glenarm, Glenariff, Glendun, Glencorp, Glenaan, Glenbllyeamon, Glenshesk, Glencloy, and Glentaisie are a scenic gem located on the coast of Northern Ireland.

Glenariff Forest Park is a beautiful park located in County Antrim in Northern Ireland. The park covers over 1,185 hectares and has a number of scenic trails that run past some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Northern Ireland. We spent a day hiking around this beautiful waterfall.

Beautiful little harbour located in the seaside village of Cushendun. The Mary McBrides across the road from here sells delicious food and real ales. There is also a café and convenience store nearby where you can pick up some snacks and take a respite on the sandy shore nearby.

A dream place to watch and swim. Is easy to reach via a hiking trail. Not far from there is a restaurant with a beautiful outdoor terrace.

Glenariff Forest Park – the “Queen of the Nine Glens of Antrim” – with raging waterfalls, ancient forests past “Ossians Grave. The unique Waterfall Walk way leads along forest paths and along the river banks through a national nature reserve and offers photographers a varied backdrop with its three waterfalls and picturesque panoramic landscapes.
