From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 70,600 hectares of the Antrim Coast and Glens was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1988[1]

The designation takes in the coastline from Ballycastle in the north to Larne in the south of County Antrim, and includes Rathlin Island. The inland area encompasses the Glens of Antrim and the Antrim Plateau which reaches it's highest point at Trostan, 550m above sea level [2].
