"Rambling in the Glens of Antrim The nine Glens of Antrim, a series of lush green valleys opposite the Causeway coast, are another of Northern Ireland 's most striking features. Each glen has its own forests, waterfalls and rivers. Glenariff is known as the Queen of the Glens and at Glenariff Forest Park you’ll find waymarked trails through woodlands, past rivers and waterfalls. Or follow the Glenarm Scenic Route (starting at the village of Glenarm), passing Glenarm Castle which has a walled garden and tearooms, along the way. The heritage village of Cushendall is another highlight. Photo: NITB"

Nice spot for a walk through the forest. Saw a Dipper on the stream crossing the higher part of the loop walk, and glimpsed a Jay landing in the treetops. The lower section along the river was particularly lovely, with a Kingfisher seen briefly travelling upstream and several shy Red Squirrels around the feeders.

Glenarm is one of the nine Glens of Antrim and has this lovely forest park and river running through. The loop walk will take about 50 minutes to complete, but you can take time by the Glenarm river or along the Pheasant Glen Burn. Glenarm Castle will come into view as you walk along river. It's located on the edge of Glenarm village and the forest carpark will take about 10 cars. It's possible to walk to the forest from the marina carpark if you want a bit of a longer walk.

A nice forest. The anticlockwise walking route is a long climb and you do need to be reasonably fit to walk it because of the steepish gradient in parts. Alternatively you could just walk along the gentle path beside the river. The paths can be muddy. Parking for around 10 cars at the start of the trail or plenty of free parking is available in the village car parks. We didn't see any Red Squirrels although we did see a Dipper bird in the river. Well worth visiting if you are in the area.

Walk here with my three retrievers 5 times a week. It's lovely. Just remember most of the dogs are off lead and friendly. If you don't like dogs, Carnfunnock would be up your street.
