Glenariff Forest Park
Glenariff
Known as the “Queen of the Glens of Antrim,” a wooden walkway follows the gorge past tiered waterfalls and moss-covered forest.
Glenariff is the most famous of the nine Glens of Antrim and is known as the “Queen of the Glens.” The waterfall trail in Glenariff Forest Park runs about 3 km, following wooden boardwalks and steps deep into the gorge. Along the way you pass tiered waterfalls such as Ess-na-Larach and moss-covered rock walls, creating a deep, lush scene. A longer mountain loop is also available. Parking costs about £5. Some sections of the path are slippery and steep, so wear non-slip shoes. It suits a stop while driving the Causeway Coastal Route and is about 60 km from Belfast.
