Glenariff Forest Park is a beautiful park located in County Antrim in Northern Ireland. The park covers over 1,185 hectares and has a number of scenic trails that run past some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Northern Ireland. We spent a day hiking around this beautiful waterfall.

Many walks start out from the information centre near the parking. It costs £5 (2023) to park at the visitor centre. Entry on foot is free. The waterfall walk takes you down into the gorge where you can walk along paths and wooden walkways to admire the waterfalls.
