Carnlough and Glenarm sit on the rugged Antrim coast within Mid and East Antrim, nestling where steep glens meet the sea. Carnlough is known for its sheltered harbour tucked beneath dramatic cliffs and a compact harbourfront, while Glenarm is a historic village centred on its estate and walled townscape, dominated by the presence of Glenarm Castle and rivers that run down to the shore.
Both communities have long maritime and agricultural ties and today rely heavily on tourism, local services and small-scale fishing, with walkers and drivers drawn to the scenic coastal routes and nearby Glens of Antrim. There’s a strong local identity expressed through community events, garden openings and food festivals around the castle, and the area’s mix of natural beauty and lived heritage makes it a quiet but lively part of the county’s visitor trail.
