Glenarm Castle Opening Times & Prices

With its own special place in local history, Glenarm Castle is a true national treasure. One of Ireland's oldest estates, and home to the Earls of Antrim, Glenarm Castle is a 'must see' destination and one of N.Ireland's top tourist attractions. Whilst here, visitors can enjoy beautiful scenery and enchanted walks in our historic Walled Garden and *Castle Trail, excellent locally sourced food in our charming Tea Room, a little bit of retail therapy in our Byre Shop and a visit to Shambles Workshop featuring bespoke retro up-cycled items, photography, jewelry and other crafts.

See below for the Walled Garden, Tea Room, Byre Shop & Shambles Workshop Opening Hours and Admissions:

*As part of the walled garden offering, and when available, visitors can also enjoy our Castle Trail which allows you the opportunity to see more of the Estate and in particular the Castle. Due to a working estate, consisting of many events, weddings, corporate events & general estate activity, the Castle Trail is not always available.

Castle Trail is only available with General Admission.
