The Earls of Antrim have called it home for 400 years and its spectacular walled garden is one of Ireland’s oldest, and at one time it was almost burned to the ground, it is said on account of a fire being kept permanently burning to warm up a featherless parrot. Glenarm Castle is truly one of a kind.
Walled gardens, sundials, sculptures, woodland trails, a children’s playground and even a hedge maze are all on offer in the beautiful Carnfunnock Country Park. This park on the east coast of Ireland, near Larne in County Antrim, also boasts spectacular views over Drains Bay and the dramatic North Channel, separating Ireland and Scotland.
