River of Gold

River of Gold - Glenariff

Golden light from the trees above shimmer in the river below creating an fantastic illusion of liquid gold. Of the nine Glens of Antrim "Glenariff" is referred to as the 'Queen of the Glens'. The small village of Waterfoot lies at the mouth of the Glen. The upper part of the glen contains some excellent walks through the forest and down alongside the river as it flows over several waterfalls.
