Glenariff waterfall, on the Causeway coast coastal route, County Antrim Northern Ireland


Uppermost of 3 waterfalls at Glenariff. Glenariff or Glenariffe (from Irish: Gleann Aireamh, meaning "valley of the ploughman/arable valley")[1] is a valley in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is one of the Glens of Antrim. Like all glens in that area, it was shaped during the Ice Age by giant glaciers. It is sometimes called the 'Queen of the Glens' and is the biggest and most popular of the Glens of Antrim. The village of Waterfoot lies on the coast at the foot of the glen. The unique Waterfall Walkway, opened 80 years ago, has been significantly upgraded along its 3 mile length which passes through a National Nature Reserve. A visitor centre, exhibition, interactive display, shop, caravan/camping site (open Easter - October) Laragh Lodge Restaurant (open all year round) complement this "gateway to the Glens".
