MenuGlenarm, Antrim
Glenarm is a village, lying on Glenarm Bay, at the mouth of the Glenarm River, on the east coast of County Antrim. It is within the townland of Town Parks, in the civil parish of Tickmacrevan. The Franciscan order established a friary and a burial ground on the north bank of the river here in 1465. Though there has been a castle at Glenarm since the 13th century, the present Glenarm Castle was built in 16365 by Sir Randal MacDonnell, 1st Earl of Antrim, who had been granted the estate during the Plantation. The historic walled garden was created in the 1820s. The village grew across the river from the castle. St Patrick's Church (C of I) was built in 1769 on the site of the by-then ruined friary. The village is within the council area of Mid and East Antrim.
