Audio Guide of Glendun Tower

As it is a public historic structure and part of the road infrastructure, access is open **24 hours a day**, 365 days a year. It is easily reached by driving along the iconic A2 coastal route towards Cushendun; it is a must-stop on the Glens of Antrim.

The visit is **completely free**, as it is an open-air monument with no ticket offices or access controls. You can enjoy the architecture and valley views without spending a single euro, making it ideal for any budget.

Ideally, set aside between **30 and 45 minutes** for your stop. This will give you enough time to admire the imposing structure from below, take incredible photos and breathe in the fresh valley air before continuing your route.

Designed by the famous architect **Charles Lanyon** and completed around 1839, this viaduct is a masterpiece of 19th-century engineering that transformed transport in the Glens. It is a symbol of perseverance and Victorian aesthetics blending perfectly with the wild nature of Northern Ireland.

The months from **May to September** offer the best weather and a spectacular green valley. I recommend visiting during the 'golden hour' at sunset, when the soft light enhances the texture of the stone and creates a magical atmosphere for your photos.

The upper structure is a road, so it can be admired comfortably from your vehicle. However, access to the base of the bridge or surrounding paths may be uneven and difficult for wheelchairs due to the natural terrain.

You are a very short distance from the famous Cushendun Caves, known for appearing in Game of Thrones. We also recommend visiting the picturesque village of Cushendun and the impressive Torr Head viewpoint.

Bring waterproof footwear if you plan to go down near the Glendun River and be careful when parking, as spaces are limited at the edge of the road. Remember to download your audio guide from IAudioguia.com, as the mobile signal can be intermittent at the bottom of the valley.
