Carnfunnock Country Park, Coastal recreational park in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
Carnfunnock Country Park is a recreational park featuring mixed woodland, maintained gardens, walking trails, and coastal views near Larne. The grounds include different themed sections designed for both active exploration and quiet enjoyment.
The site became an estate in the 1820s when the Agnew family leased the land, developing it for farming. Over time, the property transformed from private agricultural land into a public park for the community.
The park contains archaeological remains that reveal how people have lived and worked in this area for centuries. Walking through, you notice these historical traces scattered across the grounds, connecting you to the long human story of the region.
The park is open daily, though visiting hours change with the seasons. Planning your visit around the time of year helps you make the most of what the park offers.
The park features a hedge maze laid out in the shape of Northern Ireland, with sections representing each county and its central lake. This creative design turns a walk through the maze into a playful exploration of the region's geography.
