Glenariff Forest Park

Glenariff Forest Park covers an area of 1185 hectares, of which about 250 hectares have been left open for recreation, landscaping and conservation. In the park are 2 small rivers containing spectacular waterfalls, tranquil pools and stretches of fast flowing water tumbling through rocky gorges.

Four way-marked trails of varying length wind through the forest leading you into some of the park's most beautiful wooden areas. One follows the Glenariff River with its famous waterfalls and passes through the National Nature Reserve.

The forest has a restaurant with a refurbished wheelchair friendly terrace and a craft shop which are open every day during high season and at weekends during low season.

The Visitor Centre which has recently been refurbished is open all year round and contains an exhibition detailing the history and geology of the area as well as the work of the Forest Service. The wildlife display is of particular interest to young children.
