This is a popular walking tour and we have carefully selected comfortable accommodation to ensure you are well rested each night after a busy day hiking and sightseeing.
You can combine this holiday with our walk on the
Causeway
Coast Way
for a longer walking holiday.
To start your walking holiday on The Glens of Antrim and Moyle Way walking trail you make your own way to Ballycastle, Northern Ireland (Ulster) for your first night's accommodation. Ballycastle is well connected to Belfast by bus. We can assist with bus or coach transfers if necessary as well as ferry or plane travel from UK. Car parking is available for the duration of your self-guided walking holiday on The Glens of Antrim and Moyle Way.
On walking out of Ballycastle the hiking trail follows the route of the old disused railway which ran from Ballycastle to Ballymena under the shadow of Knocklayd Mountain. The walking trail follows the course of the River Glenshesk with its many waterfalls and a chance to see red squirrels. The route passes ancient standing stones and through forests, and all around there are great views. At Orra Beg you will be met and transferred to Cushendall for your overnight stay.
We transfer you back to Orra Beg where the walking is on open moorland in the shadow of Trostan Mountain. You then descend into Glenariff Forest, famous for birds of prey and mixed woodland. One of the highlights of The Glens of Antrim and Moyle Way walking trail is the Essathothan Waterfall. The walking trail follows the River Glenariff down to the sea at Waterfoot, then a pleasant coastal walk to the little town of Cushendall.
Depart after breakfast or extend your holiday and spend some time in the area.
Why not link this walking holiday with the Causeway Coast Way,
making a full week's walking holiday.
We can transfer you to your car or station.
2 days at about 13 miles per day.
