Larne is the gateway to some of the world's most breathtaking scenery. From here, the Antrim Coast Road begins its 23-mile journey past cliffs, bays, forests, beaches, hills, headlands, mountains and the lush green glens of Antrim. Further north, on the Causeway Coast, Atlantic waves crash against ever-more dramatic rock formations. It all starts as the motorist literally drives through a cliff via the Black Arch, a couple of miles out of Larne. This is a large market town and port, with three ferry routes to Scotland and England. MP and Harbour Master James Chaine did much to develop the local shipping trade, and he is honoured by the Chaine Memorial, a replica round tower nicknamed The Giant's Pencil standing on the shore beside Larne Lough, and by Chaine Park, which looks out over the North Channel to Scotland. The attractive Curran Park, meanwhile, contains a statue of a family group about to sail for America, marking Larne's role as an emigration port in the 1700s. Elsewhere, the ruins of the 16th Century Olderfleet Castle speak of earlier times. Other attractions in Larne include the promenade, the Leisure Centre and the Carnegie Centre, housing a museum and art gallery.
