The Nine Glens of Antrim include, a fifty mile shoreline, grasslands, forests, peat bogs, mountain uplands, churches and castles steeped in history and culture. Awesome. For nearly a 100 miles the Antrim Coast Road (built in the 1830s) winds its way round beautiful bays, high cliff lines, green fields and majestic castle ruins.
The Glens folk are great storytellers....... many of these stories are about"The Wee Folk" who have been spotted on many a dark night around the glens especially near Lurigethan mountain and Tiveragh hill! These little rascals can get up to all types of devilish antics an can have you running around in circles.
NEVER cut down a skeogh (Fairy Thorn) or they will have a devastating revenge on anyone who would be so bold and brave to try it! One story is that a certain gentle-man cut down a skeogh in his field and his wife became paralyzed and didn't speak for the next thirty years! So fairy thorns are well respected in the Glens and there are very few farmers would try and interfere with them as they would tend to plough around them.Read more
