Glenariff Forest Park

Glenariff Forest Park is one of the 9 Antrim Glens, and has over 1,000 hectares to explore, half of which is full of trees, the other a mix of small lakes, open spaces, lakes and waterfalls. Several trails to follow, including the Waterfall Walkway. 

There are a number of other trails, which will give you great views and chances to see wildlife such as the hen harrier, Irish hare, and red squirrel. The trails vary in length from the Viewpoint Trail, which is about half a mile (0.8km) long, to the Scenic Trail, which is 5.5miles (8.8km) and offers amazing views to enjoy.

This is a magical place to take the kids that is well signposted and visitor friendly. It is also a great venue for caravanning and camping, horse riding, and more.

There is an “in touch” information kiosk where you can find out about the forest and local area, including tourist information.

Free to visit.
