How to get there and how to get around
The Antrim Coast & Glens AONB is situated in the north eastern corner of Northern Ireland and within one hour’s drive from Belfast City, Belfast International and City of Derry Airports. Ferry services operate from Scotland to both Larne and Belfast. There is also a ferry service between Ballycastle and Rathlin Island.
Ballymena, Ballymoney and Larne are part of the Northern Ireland rail network and the AONB is accessible by bus from each of these towns. In summer the Antrim Coaster bus service operates regularly between Larne and Ballycastle.
Cyclists can use the Sustrans National Cycle Routes 93 and 97.
For walkers the AONB includes the Moyle Way running from Ballycastle to Glenariff Forest Park and the Antrim Hills Way running from Glenarm to Slemish Mountain. For more information on the Waymarked Ways in Northern Ireland please visit www.walkni.com.
