Sightseeing

Glencar Waterfall is situated near Glencar Lake, 11 kilometres west of Manorhamilton in County Leitrim. It is particularly impressive after rain and can be viewed from a lovely wooded walk. There are more waterfalls visible from the road, although none is quite as romantic as this one which is mentioned by WB Yeats in his poem ‘The Stolen Child’.

This lakeshore and hillside track is waymarked and easy to follow. It begins at the northern end of the car park and follows the markers along the forest trail, providing picturesque views over Lough Gill. After 1.6km, the track rises at the very first fork in the walk. Keep to the right-hand path, which will lead you back down to the car park, or veer left if you wish to continue on the Sligo Way towards Dromahair where the trail ends at the Abbey Hotel, just past Creevelea Abbey. (It takes approximately 3 hours to complete the 10km to Dromahair.)

Entertainment & Activities

We love to book in for a seaweed bath in Voya. If you've never had one, don't be put off by the idea... it's very relaxing spa experience. The seaweed is amazing for your skin and hair, the baths are especially luxurious on a cold or rainy day!
