Send flowers to Larne, County Antrim

Larne flwoer delivery from Clare Florist

Larne is a port on the east coast of County Antrim in Northern Ireland. Today, it is best known as the ferry port that links Ulster with Stranraer in South West Scotland. However, it has been used as a seaport for over a thousand years and, in the eighteenth century was one of the main ports from where Irish emigrants sailed to North America. In the nineteenth century Larne was one of the few areas in Northern Ireland to be affected by the Irish Famine.

Today, the area has over 30,000 inhabitants and is an important industrial and market town. For a town of its size Larne has a very impressive number of parks, all of which are noted for their attractive open spaces and flower displays. Carnfunnock County Park, four miles north of the town has a famous maze, as well as extensive public gardens and floral sundials. The town has a thriving market that sells a variety of goods, but is renowned for its fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers.

Larne has recently gained an impressive reputation for some groundbreaking action on the environment. The local council has devised a Local Biodiversity Action Plan to highlight which plants, habitats and animals are most important in the area. The plan also sets out initiatives for protecting this flora and fauna.

One of the plants included in the Key Species Element of the plan is the rare wildflower, wood cranesbill. Glenarm, just outside Larne, is a hotspot for the flower and, as it is now the only remaining locality in Northern Ireland where it grows, it is intended to transplant many new plants into the area.
