Glencar Waterfall and Lake

The romantic Glencar Waterfall lies about 8 miles north of Sligo town, and about 5 miles south of Manorhamilton. With a drop of about 50 feet, it is a small but beautiful waterfall, and was mentioned by W. B. Yeats in his famous poem “The Stolen Child.”

The waterfall is particularly impressive after a rainfall. While there are many more waterfalls that can be seen from the road in the northwest region, none are as scenic and enchanting as this one.

The nearby Glencar Lake is a beautiful, serene and silvery lough.
