Just outside Larne Town near Glenoe village is a little unknown hidden gem known as Clements' Wood. It is a small 10 acre woodland just off the busy Larne A2 Main Dual Carriageway and it consists of over 300 native trees, streams, graveled and bare ground paths and some old stone buildings, fortifications and an old watermill. The woodland also runs along the old disused Larne-Ballyclare Narrow Gauge Railway Line which is no longer in use today but you can still find some evidence of the old line today. This little woodland is great for getting some peaceful breathing space from the busier and noiser parklands in the area.

Lovely walk with my two daughters and my pooch ????. The forest boasts spectacular views and is accessed through a beautiful gate at the top of the main cobbled street in Glenarm, which just adds to its charm. Picnic tables are available near the car park, close to the river. There are some carved wooden animals around the walk, which the girls loved trying to spot whilst we were walking. The fact that this forest is within easy walking distance of the locals cafes and public houses just adds to its attraction. You can also walk to the beach and the marina. There is something for everyone. Lovely place for a walk, then tea and a scone!!! Enjoy ????

Our first caravan trip so maybe not the most balanced review but we had a fabulous time! We stayed three nights midweek in July, hardly anyone there for the first two nights so we managed to get a great pitch with uninterrupted views of the glen in front (the car park below isn’t visible from the site so you just get the drama of the scenery). We also had stunning sunsets to our left and, just outside our window, some very cute rabbits - much to our kids’ delight. Facilities were great for us. Some, like the small kids’ playground, closed due to Covid restrictions but toilet and shower block open, clean and warm - slightly whiffy drains outside the building but we were told the services hadn’t been emptied as usual due to Covid, it wasn’t really a problem anyway. The Warden was really friendly and there was constantly someone cutting grass, cleaning, mopping....lots of attention to keeping the place trim and tidy. Outdoor and indoor dish-washing facilities were both open, a camper’s kitchen was closed and laundry machines seemed to be open, I think token-operated. Our only complaint, no fault of the site’s of course, was that conditions were against us as we arrived and the swarms of midges relentlessly biting as we were setting up almost had us turning tail and going home on the spot. Thankfully they eased off that evening and the breeze picked up so that by our last day they were gone. The cafe onsite kept some slightly mysterious hours (all is forgiven in times of Covid) but they were brilliant and knowledgeable catering for our coeliac daughter, with plenty of choice for her, and nothing was too much trouble. Scenery is stunning and the walks were great, we really loved our few days here!
