The crunch of gravel beneath your feet mingles with the distant calls of seabirds riding the breeze off Belfast Lough — you're on 191 hectares of parkland that rolls right down to the Antrim coast.

This one suits families who want space to roam between pitches, tourers exploring the Causeway Coastal Route, and anyone after a proper country park setting with the sea just beyond the trees. Co Antrim's dramatic coastline is your backdrop here — the Glens are close, and you're planted in grounds where woodland trails, ornamental gardens and open meadows give you plenty to explore without ever leaving the site. Tent campers, campervans and caravans all have a home here, with year-round access making it a solid base whatever the season.

Facilities are straightforward — toilets and showers onsite — and the country park itself brings picnic spots, play areas and walking routes into the mix. Campfires are worth checking on arrival, so ask when you pitch up. The vibe is relaxed and outdoorsy, with that blend of coastal air and parkland calm that makes you linger an extra day.

Shore Trail

Follows the stunning Antrim coastline with mixed terrain including cliff-edge paths, grassy sections and occasional rocky stretches—some moderately steep climbs but generally manageable. Not ideal for buggies due to uneven ground and narrow sections near cliff edges; best suited for older children who are confident walkers. Dogs welcome on leads, especially near livestock and cliff drops. Delivers breathtaking sea views, dramatic coastal scenery and chances to spot seabirds and marine life along

Heritage Trail

Mostly flat, paved town streets with occasional cobbles – excellent for buggies and families with toddlers. Dogs welcome on leads through the town centre. Perfect for combining castle views with cafés, making it ideal for a leisurely heritage-focused afternoon rather than a countryside ramble.
