Glenariff

Glenariff is one of the famed Nine Glens of Antrim, in County Antrim. The biggest, brightest, most beautiful of nine fine valleys, Glenariff is sometimes called the 'Queen of the Glens', though its name is more prosaic, meaning "the ploughman's glen". On the coast at the foot of the glen stands the village of Waterfoot. To the north is Glenballyemon and to the south Glencloy.

The Glenariff River flows down and carves the glen and here tumbles over picturesque waterfalls, most famously Ess Na Crub and Ess na Larach. Much of the dale forms the Glenariff Forest Park, a popular tourist destination. (Read more)
