A Trip to the Glens of Antrim-Northern Ireland. The Causeway Coastal Route with the Glens of Antrim!

Let's take you through a road trip up to the Glens of Antrim! (for those who don't know, glens are valleys!) The Antrim coast was actually built back in 1830s and spans a massive hundred and sixty kilometres around the whole shoreline. The Glens of Antrim are locally referred to as "The Glens" and there are nine glens out there and they radiate from the Antrim Plateau to the coast. The Glens of Antrim is one of the most famous touristic attractions in north Antrim and this goes back for the outstanding natural beauty it appears to be part of. There are different stops related to the towns and villages when it comes to the Glens of Antrim and these include Ballycastle (   • Ballycastle Co. Antrim - Places to go...  ), Cushendun, Cushendall, Waterfoot, Carnlough (   • Carnlough Antrim Fishing Village - Ca...  )and Glenarm. We started the journey with Ballygally where Glenarm, which is the first of the nine glens, is found. This is actually a wooded glen that forms part of the estate belonged to the Earl of Antrim. There is, of course, the Glenarm Castle which was built back in the 1750s, and this is actually very beautiful for its scenery and the walks across the castle trail and the castle walled gardens walk (   • Antrim Castle Gardens - County Antrim...  ). Through this road trip of trying to find the 9 Glens of Antrim, we rode through the Glencloy (which means the Glen of the Dykes) scenic route. The Glencloy is the one that is shaped like a sword and it reaches down to Carnlough (   • Carnlough Antrim Fishing Village - Ca...  ). This glen is surrounded by white chalk quarries and the distinctive feature is actually the white chalk arch over the coast road near the harbour. Completing the journey while coming from Carnlough town which is famous for the Game of Thrones, which some of its scenes were shot there. This was a nice and amazing trip through the Glens of Antrim and we would even repeat it one more time again for the great scenery we have scene along the way. On our way back, we stopped at Carnfunnock Country Park which is an amazing place for families with kids. Carnfunnock Country Park is not built long time ago with the maritime theme and there are five different routes inside this park for those who want to walk inside; you could walk up the hill, walk around a wooded area, and there are also loads of events held throughout the year, so you should always keep updating yourself through their website to see the things that are happening in case you want to join any of them. We could say that Carnfunnock Country Park in county Antrim is just a very nice scenic place to go to and enjoy a peaceful walk along with the scenery (   • Carnfunnock Country Park, County Antr...  ). We haven't been to all the nice different Glens of Antrim in this trip, but we should mention the names of those other ones in case you want to keep going; there is the Glenariff (   • Glenariff Forest Park, Glens of Antri...  ), Glenballyemon, Glenaan, Glencorp, Glendun, Glenshesk and Glentaisie. According to history, at the Glens, there is the evidence of Neolithic communities. At Glencloy, Neolithic people had megalithic tombs in the uplands, while they lived in settlements near the coast at the end of the valley. The beaches were sources of flint, as evidenced by stone tool production sites in the glen. At Madman's Window, Neolithic chipping floors and stone axe rough outs were found along with Neolithic pottery, scrapers, flakes, and leaf-shaped arrowheads. At Bay Farm in Carnlough, a Neolithic site near marshland, archaeologists found occupation debris, charcoal, postholes, flint cores, axes and Neolithic pottery. If you are going to visit Northern Ireland, county Antrim to be particular, and you want to explore one of the most famous historical destinations, you could go to the Glens of Antrim and explore the different scenery out there, get to know more about the history laid behind them, and enjoy all the in between places and stops that are found out there. If you also happen to be one of the Game of Thrones fans then the Glens of Antrim is also the right place for you while being in Northern Ireland - and there are lots of other places as well which you could visit that are related to the scenes of Game of Thrones which you could plan to visit according to where you are going to stay and what will be close to your destination (   • Lough Neagh aka Smoking Sea in GOT - ...  ). This was one of the road trips we managed to make in county Antrim to explore the nine different Glens of Antrim - at least as much as we managed to see - and we would even repeat it later again to enjoy the rest of the things we didn't manage to see and at the same time check those scenery places which we enjoyed and would love to come across and enjoy one more time in the future.
