The Glens of Antrim

Nine glens run down to the Antrim coast between Glenarm and Glentaisie, and nearly everything here was painted within a few miles of one crossroads. Cushendall sits under Lurigethan, the flat-topped basalt mountain that closes the village to the south; Francis Turnly built the Curfew Tower at the crossroads in the early nineteenth century as a lock-up, taking the design from watchtowers he had seen while working for the East India Company in China. North of it, Fair Head — An Bhinn Mhór, the great cliff — drops more than a hundred metres of dolerite columns into the sea.

These are not separate views. They are one place from different positions, which is why they hang together. Three at matching size is the arrangement that works: the mountain, the water and the town, or the three headlands in sequence.
