ANTRIM GLENS & CAUSEWAY COAST (INDEPENDENT
TOUR)
 An
8-day independent/self-guided walking tour of the Glens of
Antrim; the Causeway Coast and Rathlin Island. Taking you
on a journey through a landscape that is breathtakingly beautiful;
through mysterious and mystical glens into lush-green forests
and along one of the most dramatic coastlines in Europe; and
onto the enchanted Rathlin Island.
The scenic beauty and the diversity of the landscape make
Antrim an ideal place to discover on foot. The quiet country
villages and the friendliness of the people all add to the
charm of this magical landscape.
The Causeway Coast and Glens provide you with a journey of
discovery, where imagination meets reality and where every
village and town; castle; cave and rocky shore is just waiting
to be discovered; it's a journey in life that is not to be
missed; a journey that will relax both body and soul.
Tour Outline:
Glenariff Forest Park:
Ably crowned; the Queen of the Glens, is considered by many
people to be the most beautiful of the nine Antrim Glens.
Dividing the Park are two small but beautiful rivers; the
Inver and the Glenariff, containing spectacular waterfalls,
tranquil pools and stretches of fast flowing water cascading
through steep sided ravines.
The Moyle Way:
The Moyle Way takes you from Glenariff to Ballycastle. The
route passes through a great blend of scenery as you travel
through five of the famous nine glens; Glenariff; Glendun;
Glentaise; Glenballyemon and Glenshesk; before reaching Ballycastle.
The route is entirely within the Antrim Coast and Glens Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Rathlin Island:
Rathlin Island is situated just 5-miles; 8-killometers north
on Ballycastle. A small L-shaped island with a population
of approximately 80 inhabitants. The island is immersed in
flora and fauna and in spring and summer Puffins; Guillemots
and Kittiwakes; to mention but a few; nest in their thousands
along its steep on-shore cliffs; a naturalist must.
The Causeway Coast Way:
This waymarked way follows one of the most invigorating stretches
of coastline in Europe. From Ballycastle to Portstewart the
trail passes along sandy beaches; high cliffs; ruined castles;
Carrick-a-Rede Rope and a great variety of coastal scenery
and the World Heritage Site and Nature Reserve of the Giants
Causeway.
Green Glens Of Antrim!
Far across yonder blue lies a true fairy land,
Where the sea ripples over the shingles and sand.
Where the gay honeysuckle is luring the bee,
And the green glens of Antrim are calling to me.
