Description
The Black Arch is a striking natural rock formation located on the Antrim Coast in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. This iconic landmark is a 60-foot-tall (18 meters) and 60-foot-wide (18 meters) arch-shaped rock formation, carved out by the relentless pounding of the Atlantic Ocean's waves over thousands of years. The arch is made of limestone and is surrounded by steep cliffs, with the ocean's waves crashing against its base. The Black Arch is a popular tourist attraction, offering breathtaking views of the coastline and the surrounding landscape.

Part of my local costal walk along the East Antrim coast. This lovely arch I have passed through many hundreds of times as a passenger, a driver and on foot or bicycle. Everyone in Larne will know the Black Arch.
