Glenarm Forest

Glenarm Forest is a woodland destination in the Glenarm valley, around 20 miles from Ballycastle, offering riverside paths and a car park serving the forest route. Dogs are welcome in this outdoor setting, making it a practical choice for a compact day out when you want fresh air, trees and the sound of running water without indoor logistics. The forest follows a riverside path sequence with wildlife interest along the way.

It's the kind of walk where lead-and-bag logistics stay simple and your dog can stretch their legs among mature woodland. The route is accessible from Glenarm Forest Car Park and the terrain suits dogs comfortable with forest paths and uneven ground. Glenarm Forest is open daily, year-round.

There are no indoor facilities confirmed for dogs here—this is an outdoor forest experience. If you're searching for a proper woodland walk within reach of Ballycastle, this is a named, visitor-ready destination rather than just a patch of trees.
