Tips

Beyond the Horizon

February 17, 2023

The Glengariff River is a river that flows through the heart of Glengariff National Park. Hiking along the river is one of the best ways to experience the park's breathtaking scenery. The trail winds through dense forests, scenic landscapes and impressive waterfalls that feed the river.

In addition to its beauty, the Glengariff River also has a long and fascinating history. The river was once an important transportation route for the people who lived in the area and was also used for trade and fishing. Many of the buildings along the river are historical remnants of times past and tell stories of past generations.

The Glengariff River also plays an important role in Irish mythology and folklore. In ancient stories the river is often described as a place of magic and mystical powers. It is also said that the river is the gateway to the Otherworld, where fairies and other mythological creatures live.

Very nicely maintained nature park with beautiful hiking trails and great streams. Also good for young and old to splash around ...
