UK Trip: Glens of Antrim and Torr Road, Northern Ireland (July 23, 2015)

Today we decided to visit Glenariff Forest Park and hike down the Waterfall Trail.  A little bit of rain at first, but the sky cleared as we hiked along.

After leaving Glenariff, we headed back through Cushendall and then out to the coast to Cushendun, a picturesque little village with some cool caves and Cornish-style houses.

Near the caves.

After a nice lunch, we took the Torr Road to an overlook along the coast.  More than one person warned us about the Torr Road, but I did not think it was that bad.  Maybe we didn't do the worst part of it.  It was a single track road, but there were no sheer drops, just beautiful scenery.  If a car came from the other direction, one of us squeezed over to the side and waited for the other to pass.

The view from Torr Head up and down the coast was absolutely breathtaking.  We could see Scotland only 11 miles away across the Irish Sea.

We were running later than planned, so we got off the Torr Road and missed Fair Head and Murlough Bay and headed into Ballycastle for the night.
