The McDonnell family, Earls of Antrim, are delighted to welcome visitors to their family home Glenarm Castle for guided tours throughout the season.

Delve deep into the history of Glenarm Castle and listen to the tales of the estate, brought to life by the family butler and house staff. Soak in the castle’s intricate history and the rare chance to see the unique artefacts in the drawing room, dining room, 'blue' room and striking front hall.

After your tour, why not visit the exquisite Walled Garden, a tranquil haven, bursting with vibrant colours that change with the seasons. Recently awarded the 2023 Historic Houses Garden of the Year, our 18th century garden is not to be missed for a relaxing stroll in the great outdoors. Wander up to enjoy the calming green of the Woodland Walk above the garden and take in the panoramic views across the estate.

Round up your visit by savouring homemade delights from Ground at the Tea Room, mouthwatering gelato ice-cream in The Milk Parlour, delicious wood fired sourdough pizza from the Pizza Pavilion, or grab a fresh coffee and traybake to-go from the Potting Shed.

For a touch of retail therapy, roam through The Castle Shop, The Byre, Shearer Ceramics, Causeway Aromatics and Past & Present.
