If you are looking for a relaxing walk in County Antrim that will expose you to the natural beauty of the forests of Northern Ireland, then you will want to explore the woodland trails along the Glenarm River Path.
Setting out from the car park, you will make your way to the southwest and keep left at the initial fork in order to traverse the forested hillside.
