Glenariff Forest Park

About this park

Glenariff Forest Park, affectionately known as the 'Queen of the Glens,' is a truly stunning spot for you and your four-legged friend in County Antrim. Prepare to be enchanted by the dramatic waterfalls, ancient woodland, and picturesque river gorges that make up this beautiful forest. It’s a fantastic place to spend a day exploring, with a variety of walking trails suitable for different energy levels, all offering breathtaking views and the soothing sound of rushing water. While dogs are very welcome at Glenariff, it’s important to keep them on a lead to protect the local wildlife and ensure everyone has a pleasant visit. There are plenty of fantastic scents for them to sniff out along the well-maintained paths, and the varied terrain will provide a great workout for both you and your canine companion. Do remember to bring your poop bags and leave no trace behind to keep this natural gem pristine. For your convenience, there is ample parking available on site. You'll also find toilet facilities, and though there isn't a dedicated dog wash, there are plenty of watery spots along the trails where your pup might enjoy a little paddle (under supervision and if safe!). While specific cafe details for dogs aren't often mentioned, it's always a good idea to check with any on-site eateries for their dog-friendly policies. Glenariff Forest Park is a superb choice for a memorable dog walk surrounded by Northern Ireland's incredible natural beauty.
