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.

Nice harbour, with ferries to Rathlin Island (opposite, half an hour away) that leave every hour. Lots of ice cream shops nearby and a nice park, very relaxing area.

This is the best preserved court tomb in the Causeway Coast area. A Neolithic tomb dating from c.4000 to 2000 BC. It was excavated twice, in 1935 and 1975. It consists of a horse shoe shaped forecourt that leads into a small chamber. There is a cremation passage behind the chamber containing three pits, one of these pits held the remains of several people. This form of cremation passage is the only one of its type found in Ireland.

The Queen of the Antrim Glens. Part of the Glenariff Glen has been designated as a National Nature Reserve. The timber boardwalk that winds through the glen and alongside the river gorge was first built about 100 years ago and has been carefully reconstructed to provide one of several spectacular walks. These include Rainbow Trail, Scenic Trail, Viewpoint Trail, and Waterfall Walk Trail...Yes there's a lovely Waterfall.
