Glenarm Castle
Glenarm Castle in Glenarm village on the Glens of Antrim coast in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, has been the ancestral seat of the McDonnell family, Earls of Antrim, since the seventeenth century. The castle incorporates earlier fabric within a building substantially rebuilt in the nineteenth century in the Gothic Revival style. The walled garden at Glenarm Castle is one of the finest walled gardens in Northern Ireland, with extensive herbaceous borders, kitchen garden, woodland and formal areas accessible to visitors during the season. The town of Glenarm is the oldest planted town in Ulster. The Glens of Antrim coastline, with its series of beautiful glaciated glens running down to the sea, provides one of the most scenically dramatic landscapes in Northern Ireland.
