Beautiful scenery, quiet and restful.
Glenarm River and Bridge
GLENARM FOREST
PARK is an 800-acre nature
preserve once part of the demesne of Glenarm
Castle, but now dedicated for public use
as a peaceful picnic sanctuary and woodland
trail, maintained by the Ulster Wildlife
Trust. Through a stone archway at the
top of Altmore Street visitors can stroll
along the riverbank under towering spruce
trees, ancient oaks and sycamores following
different pathways marked on the map at
the car park. No matter what the season,
a walk in Glenarm Forest offers views
of the Castle, waterfalls, wild flowers,
native plants, and a chorus of birdsong.
Open during daylight hours only.
