Glenarm to Larne
Incredible day out walking from Cairncastle to Glenarm, it’s a tiring walk but extremely satisfying journey to make, but I wouldn’t want to do it on a wet or windy day. Started from Matties Meeting House and ended it outside the Bridge End Tavern in Glenarm for some refreshments. Got a taxi back however because there was no way i was doing the return journey.
