Trostan, Mountain summit in County Antrim, United Kingdom
Trostan reaches an elevation of 551 meters above sea level, making it the highest point in County Antrim within the Antrim Mountains range.
The mountain formation occurred during periods of volcanic activity, resulting in deposits of olivine basalt lava that shaped its current geological structure.
The name Trostan comes from the Irish word Trostán, which translates to pole or staff in the English language, connecting to local linguistic heritage.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with access points from Glenarrif Forest Park and Essathohan Bridge requiring sturdy footwear due to wet conditions.
The mountain provides clear views extending toward Slemish Mountain, the Belfast Hills, and Lough Neagh, while maintaining low visitor numbers throughout the year.
