Glencar Waterfall (High Moor Waterfall)

Highlight • Waterfall

The waterfall is fed from the bog and may be more or less visible depending on the weather in recent weeks. When I was there, the lower half had seeped.

View from Benbulbin Plateau

Highlight • Viewpoint

Excellent there and back walk. Some bog to cross when the initial track runs out but not too long. Definitely go beyond the Benbulbin summit to the end of the path for the wonderful view.
