Cushendall, formerly known as Newtown Glens, is a desired village and townland in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is located in the historic barony of Glenarm Lower and the civil parish of Layd, and is part of Causeway Coast and Glens district.
It is on the A2 coast road between Glenariff and Cushendun, in the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It lies in the shadow of the table topped Lurigethan Mountain and at the meeting point of three of the Glens of Antrim: Glenaan, Glenballyemon and Glencorp. This part of the Irish coastline is separated from Scotland by the North Channel, with the Mull of Kintyre about 16 miles away. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 1,241 people, with a 2008 estimate of 1,363.
Much of the historic character of the 19th century settlement on the north bank of the River Dall remains. In 1973 it was designated as only the second Conservation Area in Northern Ireland, and includes the largely intact Irish Georgian buildings of the town's four original streets. Since 1990, Cushendall has hosted the Heart Of The Glens festival every August. Thomas D'Arcy McGee, a father of Canadian Confederation, spent his childhood in Cushendall when his father, who worked for the Coast Guard Service, was posted there.
The Curfew Tower in the centre of the village was built by then landlord of the town, Francis Turnley, in 1817, to confine riotous prisoners. Dan McBride, an army pensioner, was given the job of permanent garrison and was armed with one musket, a bayonet, a brace of pistols and a thirteen-feet-long pike. The tower is now owned by artist Bill Drummond.
Oisín's Grave, off the main Cushendall to Ballymoney road, is a megalithic court cairn on a hillside in Lubitavish, near the Glenann River. It is believed to be the burial place of Oísín - the Celtic Warrior Poet. A stone cairn was erected here in 1989 in memory of John Hewitt, the poet of the Glens.
Red Bay Castle, situated between the villages of Cushendall and Waterfoot. Built by the Bisset family in the 14th century and later occupied by the MacDonnells, one of the outposts of the Kingdom of Dál Riata.
Glenariff Forest Park, 5 miles inland from Cushendall, covers an area of 1185 hectares. In the park are two small rivers containing spectacular waterfalls, tranquil pools and stretches of fast flowing water tumbling through rocky gorges. There is a café, toilets and an exhibition centre. Four way-marked trails of varying length (1–9 km) wind through the forest leading you into some of the park's wooded areas. One follows the Glenariff River with its famous waterfalls and passes through the National Nature Reserve.

Antrim Castle Gardens - County Antrim, Northern Ireland
Antrim Castle Gardens which is also referred to as Antrim Castle Gardens and Clotworthy House is considered a historic gem which people will never find anywhere else in Northern Ireland; it is the place that was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund in order to become in the same measure of beauty which we see today.
As much as this location is considered a beautiful green space that one could stroll down to enjoy, it is also considered a historic place which tourists come to visit in order to check the Clotworthy House that is found inside - and which is the reason behind referring to it in the name of the whole place - and at the same time get the chance to visit the Garden Heritage Exhibition in order to know more about the story of Massereene Family.
Antrim Castle, which is located in the same place where the gardens are situated, was also referred to and known as Massereene Castle. The Massereene Castle passed through lots of stages in its development; it was erected in stages between 1613 and 1662, it was destroyed by fire in 1922, and it was finally demolished in the 1970's. In addition to the castle, there was an Italian tower built there in 1887 and a gatehouse which was built in 1818 with twin neo-Tudor towers, with older connecting walls.
People in county Antrim - and in Northern Ireland in general - consider Antrim Castle Gardens a living museum that carries over four centuries of culture and heritage. In these 60-acre gardens, there are some features which you will need to check and which include visiting the Large Parterre, Her Ladyship's Pleasure Garden and Yew Tree Pond. Along the walk in this garden, you will at some point come across the sculpture which is named The Massereene Wolfhound which is considered part of the history of this family that played a great role in bringing this garden to life and giving it the chance to become a historical place until this day.
In order to bring back lots of the things and features which used to make this garden different and take it back to its 17th-century reality, there were lots of things done and a lot of hard work exerted in the major programme that was dedicated to it by the Heritage Lottery Fund that was considered the biggest garden restoration project to be seen in Northern Ireland.
As much as the whole place is mainly about the old restored garden, you will also get the chance to see those new and ornamental gardens during your visit. It is easy to reach this garden and there you will find heritage, you will find education and interpretation, as well as community arts' facilities which you will find them scattered all around Clotworthy House that is part of Antrim Castle Gardens.
There are different events that sometimes take its place in this place and one of these examples is the Christmas event which we even got the chance to attend - it was beautifully different for us as adults as well as for the kids for the different games and other sweets which it managed to serve them ( - we definitely recommend this place for those who are trying to visit a place in county Antrim which will mix between heritage and history as well as the new features and informative things which are all found there.
County Antrim, which is one of the six counties that are found in Northern Ireland, carries several destinations and touristic attractions that people could go to and visit. From the long list that is found out there, we would recommend Bushmills Distillery which is located in Bushmills that is in county Antrim ( Another option is the famous Dark Hedges which is located in Ballymoney in county Antrim as well and which became even more famous after it appeared in the famous Game of Thrones movie series ( Carrickfergus is one destination in county Antrim which we have been to before and which we would recommend as well ( and we would also recommend Carnfunnock Park which is one of the things that we believe should be done in county Antrim - especially if you have kids and want them to enjoy the time along with you - (
There are actually lots of things and places in county Antrim and the suggestions always depend on the place you are residing in and how far you will be from all these different places; always search our channel according to your location and you will definitely find lots of places on it which you could visit and lots of things which you could actually do when it comes to Northern Ireland.
Our trip to Antrim Castle Gardens was all worth it, we enjoyed the mix of history and modernity and that is exactly why we are recommending the place to you all.

The Nine Glens of Antrim
Famed in poetry, song, myth and magic there are nine Glens of Antrim, each endowed with an evocative name and each weaving its own special magic.
Lush, green secret places with the sound of water alternately softly swirling, then falling in dramatic torrents, the nine Glens delight the senses. Entwined with their rich beauties are equally diverse and magical stories, combining the colourful history, myth and the traditions of the communities within the glens.
Glenarm - The glen of the army, with Glenarm village, eleven miles north of Larne, on the famous Causeway Coastal Route.
Glencloy - The glen of the hedges, two miles north of Glenarm, with the village of Carnlough at its foot.
Glenariff - The arable or fertile glen, the best-known of the nine as the 'Queen of the Glens', sweeps majestically towards the village of Waterfoot.
Glenballyemon - Edwardstown glen, at the foot of which is Cushendall - more of less at the centre of the nine glens.
Glenaan - The glen of the colt's foot or rush lights, a rugged glen - having the site of the legendary Ossian's grave, with the Cushendall-Ballymoney mountain road.
Glencorp - The glen of the slaughtered, close by Glenaan and roughly parallel to the main road from Cushendall to Cushendun.
Glendun - The glen of the brown river, adjacent to Cushendun village; spanned by a viaduct on the main Cushendall-Ballycastle road.
Glenshesk - The sedgy glen, east of the town of Ballycastle, and sweeping towards the ruins of historical Bonamargy friary.
Glentaisie - Named after 'Taisie', princess of Rathlin Island, roughly west of Ballycastle and, like Glenshesk, close to the town.

Antrim Town & Civil Parish, County Antrim, Northern Ireland
The Junction retail and leisure shop - this wasn't much of a trip for those trying to explore the touristic destinations in Northern Ireland, but it was more of a trip for those already living in county Antrim to know what this place has for them.
Every once in a while, you get to make a trip that is not cultural nor touristic or historical, but it is more of a trip to buy some treats - of course you will end up with getting things for the kids as well - which is exactly what happened with us.
The highlight of this trip was trying those jelly beans and seeing what color every single one of us prefers and likes the most - seems that I was the only one preferring the coffee ones, which is good to get them all :-) - and then comes the second part of this outing which is about getting some treats that are making it hard for us to stay a bit healthy.
If you want to get inside that shop - or supermarket - and you don't want your kids to come with you, you could leave them in the playing area outside and come back when you are finished - although we prefer that you stay with them even while playing outside - our kids loved it but they didn't get inside the arena and didn't try to play inside it, they instead chose to come with us to the shop.
The most exciting and interesting part for the kids inside that place was those small rabbits and chicks which they want to buy and keep - they looked really pretty and funny at the same time :-) and that of course came along with the part of choosing the treats they prefer and getting those jelly beans.
We all know that county Antrim is one of the six different counties that form Northern Ireland as a whole, with Belfast being its beating heart, which means that there are different things and several places and destinations that one could go to when it comes to co Antrim.
Since Belfast is the beating heart and the place people could start exploring county Antrim with, there are lots of cultural places and touristic destinations that people could head to, such as Belfast City Hall ( being the city where Titanic was built, there is also Titanic Museum which was built a century later ( the Cathedral Quarter is also a famous part of this city ( as well as lots of other places that might be related to the history and tourism of the city or else those which are more like restaurants, bars, pubs, and more, but which also have their names and clients.
From the things that highlight Antrim is Lough Neagh which is the largest lake in Ireland or even Britain ( where even one of the scenes in Game of Thrones was filmed, there is also the Giant's Ring which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site ( the nine Glens and Dunluce Castle ( and eventually reaching the area where the Giant's Causeway is located along with the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge which is also famously known about this area (
Belfast of course is the most famous destination that people could head out to when it comes to county Antrim because it is the capital city ( but there are still other destinations to be considered and one of those famous ones which also people love to visit and know more about is Ballymena which is a large town in county Antrim and which even stands as the eight largest in whole Northern Ireland.
So there are lots of different destinations in county Antrim, Northern Ireland, which you could choose from and head to according to your interests and the plan you have once placed. For those already living in Belfast and are close to the place we have been to and which we consider Antrim centre, we hope that this place was helpful and you would hit whenever you need to buy yourself something.
Have you ever been to county Antrim in Northern Ireland before? Where have you been exactly and what are the towns or places that you managed to visit and what are those which you loved the most and actually fell in love with? Share your experience with us!
Hope this video got your attention and hope you enjoyed it - and we are sure that you liked the debate about which colors of those jelly beans are more delicious than the others :-)))
This trip was a little bit quick because we were not exploring new places or trying to get people more into the details of a specific destination, but it was more about a fun day spent outside the house while the kids enjoy buying some of their favorite treats and things - me and Michelle also got our treats and tried those jelly beans with the kids, so it was fun for us as well :-))

Cushendun Caves - Cushendun - County Antrim - Northern Ireland
Grottes de Cushendun - Cushendun - Comté d'Antrim - Irlande du Nord
Coordonnées GPS: 55°07'27.1N 6°02'14.0W
Les grottes de Cushendun sont très anciennes puisqu'elles ont été formées par l'érosion sur une période de plus de 400 millions d'années.
Faciles d'accès, elles peuvent être explorées librement et il n'y a aucun frais d'entrée. Pour s'y rendre, il suffit de prendre le petit chemin situé à droite du pont. Le site se trouve à la fin de ce chemin.
On y retrouve entre autres deux gigantesques cavités rocheuses. Leur hauteur est vraiment impressionnante. On peut facilement s'y tenir debout.
Le tunnel d'une de ces grottes mène à une autre ouverture qui fait face à la mer.
La seconde grotte possède également une ouverture à l'autre extrémité, mais son accès est bloqué par une barrière.. Il faut donc rebrousser chemin.
Ce site a également servi de lieu de tournage pour l'épisode 4 de la saison 2 de la série Le Trône de fer (Game of Thrones).
On y voit Melisandre, la prêtresse rouge, dans une grotte située près du camp de Renly Baratheon. Elle donne naissance à une créature de l'ombre qui disparaît rapidement dans un nuage de fumée noire.

Glenarm - Glens Of Antrim
Lying about 12 miles north of Larne it is the most southerly of the Nine Glens of Antrim. The village of Glenarm has a population of about 500 people with perhaps 600-700 in the upper glen. There was an important fort here in Norman times providing an outlet to the sea for the extensive Norman settlement in mid-Antrim. The harbour has recently been renovated and a new marina created with moorings for some 75 boats.
Glenarm Castle, dating from 1750 with early 19th century alterations lies near the village and the Antrim Estate extends up the Glen for about four miles on both sides of the river. The Church of Ireland stands on the site of a Third Order Franciscan Friary founded about AD 1500 with part of the walls still visible. The great Shane O'Neill, killed at Cushendun in 1567 is reputed to be buried here, minus his head which was displayed on a spike at Dublin Castle.
