Departing from the pier in Belfast, you will travel to the nearby town of Larne and join the scenic Antrim Coast Road. This is among the best northern Irish scenery, from the rugged cliffs of the coast to the magical beauty of the Glens. Watch for Scotland's Mull of Kintyre and the Glens of Antrim.
Glenariff, the Queen of Glens, is the most beautiful of the nine Antrim Glens. The park, now including the former Parkmore Forest, covers an area of almost 3,000 acres. Much of it has been planted with trees; the remainder consists of several small lakes, recreation areas and open space left for landscape and conservation projects. Bisecting the park are two beautiful rivers -- the Inver and the Glenariff -- containing spectacular waterfalls, tranquil pools and stretches of fast-flowing water tumbling through steep-sided rocky gorges.
You'll have time to explore the park independently. Pause for morning or afternoon tea or coffee with homemade scones.
Take back memories of the beauty of Glenariff as you return to Belfast port via the town of Ballymena.
