Michael Sheane reveals that the area has always been close to his heart.

“I first came to live in Ballygally in June 1955, when it was still a very small settlement. But, as a teenager, my mother and father brought me on trips along the Coast Road and told me of the history of the Glens.

“The journey up the Glens is one of non-stop beauty,” Michael said, recalling camping trips in his younger days to the area’s scenic spots.

His book takes the reader on a fascinating trip through this unique landscape of fairy glens, wooded ravines, rushing torrents, waterfalls and ruined castles.

Including a number of photographs of the area, “The Glens of Antrim”, is the ideal companion for anyone who wants to know more about the area, its enchanting history and fascinating folklore.
