|
The Glens of Antrim are unique and designated as AONB's (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) with several ASSI's (Area of Special Scientific Interest) - within twenty square miles you can enjoy natural landscape that covers glacial valleys, sandy beaches, vertical cliffs, tundra plateau, boglands, wooded decidious glens, coniferous forests, waterfalls and picturesque villages. Ancient sites and places of intrigue abound.
In total there are nine Glens of Antrim. To travel between Ballycastle and Cushendall you have a choice of two routes over what is known locally as 'the mountain'. Either the main A2 Causeway Coastal Route or the Torr Scenic Route which branches off to Cushendun at Castle Green (B92) and rejoins at Ballyvoy. The old Antrim Coast Road runs from Larne to Ballycastle, along its way it passes through some spectacular scenery and over the fabulous Charles Lanyon bridge in Glendun.
