    Unique and historic place to stay in the gatehouse of Glenarm Castle. Excellent base for the Glens of Antrim and south Antrim coast. Opportunity to support an important Irish Landmark.

Company information

Irish Landmark is a non-profit organisation that finds interesting and unusual properties that are in need of conservation, and we give them new life.

Property information

The Barbican, positioned beyond an old stone bridge over the Glenarm River, is a charming building with gothic windows and a stone turret staircase. Built in 1825 from local basalt, this medieval miniature castle is a perfect romantic hideaway in one of Ulster's oldest villages. Outdoor events take place at Glenarm Castle and Estate throughout the year and this may impact your stay at Barbican. Please ensure to check out their event page prior to booking.
