Days Out in Armoy

But the area around Armoy goes well beyond one famous road: Altarichard Forest has a dedicated stargazing site, Knocklayd Summit Walk earns its views, and working farms like Broughgammon and Dunfin are worth an afternoon.

Most of what's here is free — 27 spots and counting. Gracehill House sits on the Dark Hedges estate if you want to extend the visit, and when the weather turns, Ballycastle Museum is close and costs nothing.
