Background
Description
It has a distinctive glaciated landscape with the mountains generally having rounded summits. Geologically, the Antrim hills are mostly formed from igneous rock such as basalt. They are very sparsely populated and provide habitat for a diverse range of birds and mammals. Red fox, pine marten and red squirrels are commonly found alongside peregrine falcons, buzzards and sparrowhawks. The twelve highest peaks in the Antrim Hills are listed below. Trostan climbs to 551 m, the highest of the four Arderin mountains in the range and the Antrim county high-point. Divis is considered to be part of the Belfast Hills.
