Glenariff, AntrimPhone: Fax:
In the 18th century the elementary education of the masses in Ireland was mainly carried out in the hedge schools, so called because of the custom of holding classes in the open in fine weather. During bad weather a shed was generally provided and in Glenariff one of the caves near the pier provided shelter. It is marked by a memorial stone. Another of the caves was occupied by an old woman, Nanny, who was the local poitin supplier.
