Glenariff "Queen of the Glens" is the largest and the most famous of the nine glens, with its beautiful views and glorious waterfalls and at its mouth lies the small village of Waterfoot.
The glen is bounded by rugged precipices 200 to 400 metres in height, the two most famous being Carneil and Lurigedan. At the Glenariff forest Park is a nature reserve which has breathtaking views of the Irish Sea and the Scottish coasts. Walkers can view its magnificent waterfalls and wildlife then follow the Moyle way to Ballycastle.
