Reputedly Irelands highest waterfall, this beautiful falls flow from a stream on the top of the Glencar escarpment at Tormore. There is an easy looped walk which gives glorious views down to Glencar lake as well as a viewpoint for the waterfall itself. If youre lucky and the wind is blowing in the right direction on the day of your visit, you might see it flowing upwards instead of down!!!!
