The Antrim Coast Road drive is a must do activity for anyone visiting Northern Ireland. Start at Larne and drive northwards towards Ballycastle for the best views...they just keep getting better and better. Stop off at any of the small villages and towns along the way to relax and take in the sights. It's a lovely way to spend a day.

Just outside Larne Town near Glenoe village is a little unknown hidden gem known as Clements' Wood. It is a small 10 acre woodland just off the busy Larne A2 Main Dual Carriageway and it consists of over 300 native trees, streams, graveled and bare ground paths and some old stone buildings, fortifications and an old watermill. The woodland also runs along the old disused Larne-Ballyclare Narrow Gauge Railway Line which is no longer in use today but you can still find some evidence of the old line today. This little woodland is great for getting some peaceful breathing space from the busier and noiser parklands in the area.
