Glens of Antrim

Valleys

The Glens of Antrim are nine valleys that radiate from the Antrim Plateau down to the coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, prized as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Each glen has been cut by its own stream descending from the plateau to the sea, giving the district its distinctive fan of parallel valleys.
