With a family presence in the Glens of Antrim stretching back nearly 400 years, a third level qualification in Irish History and a keen interest in the culture, heritage, history and wildlife of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you could say that this visually stunning part of Ireland is in my DNA. Let me tell you of ancient warriors and battles, Irish fairies and folklore, let me show you abandoned castles and churchyards that have played a major part in the life of the Glens of Antrim and have shaped its people into what we are today - fiercely independent with links both to the Hebridean Islands of western Scotland as well as Ireland. An accredited storyteller with an acute interest in local Celtic mythology, let me guide you around cascading waterfalls, rugged mountains, secluded beaches and charming coastal villages via roads almost as old the Glens themselves. To say I am passionate about guiding tourists through this area is an understatement. I have been doing it on a voluntary basis since childhood and believe totally in my ability as a guide as much as I believe that the Glens of Antrim are unsurpassed in terms of scenery anywhere in the world. World Host accredited in Customer Service and an accreditation as a storyteller have helped ensure a fascinating, informative and thought-provoking tour. I can honestly say that I am overwhelmed with reviews received from enchanted customers as well as the number of repeat visitors to the area. As the saying goes "I must be doing something right"!

This day belongs to you. . You tell me where you want to go eg The Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Glenariffe Waterfalls, Ballycastle etc and I will take you there along the most scenic roads in Northern Ireland, all the while telling stories from the landscape, the history and the people, stopping for photographs in picturesque villages and stunning countryside. Picturesque valleys with plunging waterfalls, cliffs, pristine beaches and charming coastal villages, abandoned castles and churchyards and a history of warfare and invasion, all help to make this stunning Irish coastline a must-see destination. Marvel at the scenery which has seen the Antrim Coast Road (itself a feat of pre-Victorian engineering), voted one of the most scenic drives in the WORLD. Most of all immerse yourself in the lives of the people who live and work here, through interaction with daily practices of farming and fishing which have evolved within the unique landscape of the Glens of Antrim.
