Glenariff Forest

Very very steep... I do not consider myself fit at all and this was really hard work. If young and energetic probably would be a easy route, my teenagers did it with no problem. Long way down, lots of steps, some risk of slipping. Not accessible for wheelchairs would be tough for bigger prams but basic buggy's possible- you could drive to the restaurant and see the last 2 falls at the bottom. The first half of the walk down, sadly the trees were very damaged and dead due to disease a few years ago, but the 2nd half is recovering well. BUT the waterfalls are beautiful, the scenery is breathtaking. The waterfalls basically stretch the entire first half of the walk. We set out at 12 got to the bottom at 13.30.. we did stop to admire the views for longer then most. The restaurant at the bottom does not allow you to use the toilets unless you are buying something to eat / drink. The cafe at the top is closed but the toilets are open. I personally found the walk up the top tough but there are regular spaced seats on the way up. We got back up at 14.00 to the car park. It was quiet with approximately 5 other groups doing the walk.

Wonderful place for an enjoyable walk. Has a nice coffee shop on site which does nice homemade cooked meals. Also a short stroll down to lara lodge restaurant. Has a very small kids park but plenty of areas for the kids to run around. The waterfall walk is amazing but the high walk has stunning views. Plenty of picnic tables. Has public toilets. Pay and display at the car park.

Amazing place to spend a day at. There are some beautiful waterfalls and just nature in general it’s astonishing there. The trails are kept quite good and it’s easy to walk. Although bare in mind, there are some steep trails. I’ve been there in the summer and in the end of autumn both times it was beautiful and relaxing. Recommending for a nice, energizing walk in nature.

Such a beautiful area, with well marked trail. Excellent toilet facilities and 2 places for refreshments on the waterfall trail. 5 pound for car in the main carpark at the top of the trail although you can park at Larry's Lodge (not sure if there's a fee) at the bottom of the trail if you not as mobile as the trail dowm can be quite steep, and the walk back up to main carpark can be tough. But it's totally worth it to see the beautiful sights all around you.
