Trees and small woodlands are significant landscape features. There are diverse wildlife habitats including fragments of the once extensive lowland bogland. Many of these boglands have been drained and cut over for turf. The craggy outcrops are covered with heather moorland. The range of upland and marginal habitats such as dry and wet heath lands hedgerow and rough grass creates a rich mosaic of wildlife habitat. https://www.garymcparland.com/elephant-rock-at-sunset https://images.on-this.website/21257_1609016120502abf9a2d958.jpgElephant Rock at Sunset Sea Stacks between Ballintoy and White Park Bay on the North Antrim Coast.
