Walking

Glenariff Waterfalls - drive down and park at Laragh Lodge restaurant (our favourite for a roast dinner), the waterfalls are only a short walk. Park at the forest park for other longer walking trails including several forest access paths on the opposite side of the road

Dungonnell Reservoir - walk, drive or cycle to the reservoir or mix it up and do a little of each. Follow the Dungonnell Way walking route, see the flyers on the site noticeboard. Access to Glenariff Forest can be gained here also, near the information board at the back of the reservoir. There are a number of lovely walks and the famous waterfalls can be accessed from here, it is a long walk so be prepared as mobile coverage is poor.  With Laragh Lodge Restaurant located close to the waterfalls, I can't think of a more perfect reward for the walk.  To save your feet and the uphill return journey a local taxi can be pre-arranged to collect you from the Laragh Lodge.

Neighbourhoods

Willow and Lore Wild Glamping is in an area known as Glenravel, locally named Antrim's Tenth Glen.  It is an area rich in history with ruins from iron ore mines, a narrow gauge railway and generations of agriculture. It is located central to three villages. Martinstown and Cargan have a shop, Cargan sells fuel & has an outside laundrette at the shop.  Martinstown has the local pub, the Glensway Tavern. NewtownCrommelin has a pub - The Skerry Inn and the village has gorgeous views of Glenravel and further afield. Glenravel is a lovely area to walk, drive or cycle around, you should see lots of other donkeys (in the fields :0) ) around too. Meandering along the back roads you'll get lots of lovely views and places to explore.   We have a Greenway along the original railway line which is a lovely place to walk/cycle. There are a number of nice circular walks we can let you know about, including our own dark hedges. For the more energetic we are located close to the Moyle Way / Ulster Way / International Appalachian trail which will give you stunning views over the Antrim Plateau.
