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 other glens in that area, it was shaped during the Ice Age by giant glaciers.
Glenariff
It is sometimes called the 'Queen of the Glens', and is the biggest and most touristed of the Glens of Antrim. The village of Waterfoot lies on the coast at the foot of the glen.
A popular tourist destination is the Glenariff Forest Park with its trails through the trees and alongside waterfalls.
