Glencar Waterfall

Glencar Waterfall is a stunning 50-foot waterfall located in the scenic Glencar Valley between Counties Leitrim and Sligo. It is one of Ireland's most picturesque waterfalls, set amidst lush woodland and mountains. The area is perfect for families with children of all ages who enjoy nature and short, easy walks. The waterfall is accessible via a gentle, 5-minute walk from the car park along a well-maintained path suitable for pushchairs and small children. Highlights include the powerful cascade, rainbows on sunny days, and the surrounding ancient forest with mossy rocks. Facilities: Free parking, picnic tables, and a small tearoom nearby. No playground or café on-site, but the village of Manorhamilton is a short drive away. Practical tips: Wear sturdy shoes as the path can be slippery after rain. Best visited after heavy rain for a more dramatic waterfall. Allow 30–60 minutes for the visit.
