What are some attractions near Larne?

Just a few minutes’ drive from Larne, Carnfunnock Country Park was once part of a country estate and still has a walled garden and an ice house.

Take a looped drive around for birdwatching, grassy headlands, and the beach at Brown’s Bay, or to get close to County Antrim’s cliffs, take the guided walk at The Gobbins to learn about the area’s sealife and seabirds. There are nine glens along the Antrim coast, each one a lush green valley carved out by a river on its way to the sea. Drop into Glenarm Castle to stroll the walled garden or woodland, or stay the night in a camping pod with sea views. The Causeway Coastal Route is considered one of the world’s most scenic drives—with the lush green Glens of Antrim on one side and coastal scenery on the other. The drive will take you to admire heritage villages like Cushendall and Cushendun, test your wits at the famous Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, marvel at the clifftop ruins of Dunluce Castle, or climb on the rock formations at the Giant’s Causeway.
