A Great place for shor trekking and walking. There is a stream and waterfalls offers lots of photo points. Local car par available, No toilets,Pet friendly. NOTE : Goog maps guide you to the fire station near, but make sure take a right turn for the entrance before the bridge if you are coming from Antrim.

Great place to while away an hour and get some exercise in the great outdoors. Nice walk, not too arduous. Lovely on a sunny day. Good sized car park. No toilets unfortunately

A very enjoyable walk. You can get to the riverbank to stand by the waterfall,along with a tiny old house, there’s also a park at the entrance for kids. It’s a short walk but you can drag it out for an hour and a half. I would give it four stars but the only down side was the litter.
