Waterfoot

This picture was taken from one of the many parking areas on the coast road heading north. When driving this route at this point there are some great views of the glens of Antrim opening up from sea level.
Waterfoot is also known as Glenariff, taking its name from one of the nine Glens of Antrim where it it sits at the foot of Glenarriff, gateway to the glens.
The village is by Red Bay, named from the reddish sand that washes from the exposed sandstone on the cliffs down to the shore. It is a typical coast road village with one main street and just outside it, on the coast road, is the White Lady. This is a chalk figure carved by the sea washing against the cliffs. Each July Waterfoot hosts the annual Glens Of Antrim Féis.
Glenarriff forest park is well worth a visit. The spectacular waterfall walks and nature reserve together with the visitor centre, interactive displays, tea rooms and restaurant offer plenty to see and welcome refreshment. camping is on site.
