What visitors say
Lovely walk through the waterfalls and great viewing point but not engaging enough for younger kids. Playpark was one small slide and closed while we visited almost 2 hour drive and wouldn't make that trip again unless in the area. Beautiful walks around the waterfalls can be muddy so wear appropriate footwear, dog friendly and a strenuous enough walk.

Beautiful place to spend the day! Plenty of parking, nice café for a bite and a few steep inclines up from the Waterfall. The only little niggle was the paths were not very easy to decifer from the map and some of the trail markings were not easy to find! But loved it and will definitely be back!

Glenariff Forest Park in the Glens of Antrim is a spectacular woodland destination suitable for visitors of all ages and fitness levels. The star attraction is the waterfall trail, a scenic walk through a stunning wooded gorge with magnificent cascading waterfalls. A variety of trails cater for all abilities, with beautiful views across the glen and towards the sea.

Absolutely beautiful, with multiple hike lengths and intensities to choose from, and mix and match. Wonder cafe/info station with snacks and gift shop. The staff there was endlessly polite and kind. Genuinely wonderful experience.
