Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, May 2011. Famed in poetry, song, myth and magic there are nine Glens of Antrim, each endowed with an evocative name and each weaving its own special magic. Lush, green secret places with the sound of water alternately softly swirling, then falling in dramatic torrents, the nine Glens delight the senses. The unique Waterfall Walkway in GLenariff forest park, opened 80 years ago, has been significantly upgraded along its 3 mile length which passes through a National Nature Reserve. Three waterfalls provide a rich backdrop for photographers, as do the other forest trails that offer panoramic landscapes and peaceful riverside walks. Entwined with their rich beauties are equally diverse and magical stories, combining the colourful history, myth and the traditions of the communities within the glens. For decades travellers stayed away from the sectarian violence, but since the end of'The Troubles' more and more people start discoving the beauty of Belfast and the Antrim Coast Causeway.
