The hills are exposed and mostly covered in heather or tussock grass; a simplicity of landform which draws the eye to their smooth summits, distinct landmarks that can be seen from the lowlands and valleys. This Waymarked Way begins in the picturesque and historic village of Glenarm, which dates back to the 13th century. From the village go up Town Brae Road, a steep road with fine views of the village. At the top, take right along a minor road for about 2 miles (3.2km) and at the waymarker go inland. This takes you over the rocky and exposed Black Hill and Scawt Hill for about 6 miles (9.6km). A series of stiles over traditional stonewalls leads to a spectacular view of Sallagh Braes, a dramatic round cliff which is the product of a massive landslip. Follow the Waymarked Way along the edge of the cliffs, stopping to take in the spectacular views of the North Channel, Ballygally Head and Carnfunnock woodland. After crossing the road, follow the stone walled lane to where the walk again progresses over open grassland with lovely panoramic views. Follow the next road a short distance and over a stile for an uphill section leading to the top of Agnew's Hill, with spectacular views of Larne Lough, and across to Scotland on a good day. At the bottom of the hill, the route veers right along a track, over a wooden bridge, and follows an old droving road to an interpretation panel at Greenmount Hill Farm. The route continues over stony ground in parts during your ascent to the summit of Glenhead. The views of the surrounding countryside are worth the climb. From Glenhead the remaining route crosses over way marked open land and ends at the base of the Slemish Mountain (437m), the highest point in the region.
