Set in the mouth of the River Dun at the foot of Glendun, this small coastal village is packed with architectural heritage including the neo-Georgian Glenmona House and ruins of a 14th-century castle. With a sheltered harbour and beautiful beach, its traditional stone walls lead to quaint shops and cosy pubs including Mary McBride's, once one of the smallest pubs in Ireland.
The red squirrel is one of the most popular and well loved mammals and Cushendun is one of the best places in Northern Ireland to spot them.
