Ireland Glenbarrow Waterfall

Beautiful mountain / forrest steam and falls. The short walk (1km) is really nice in the spring and summer, and is not too difficult.

Photography Tips

The trick here is to get the water flow just right. If the weather has been very wet, the falls becomes a raging torrent and is (a) not very photogenic, and (b) you cannot go down to the river at the bottom of the falls.

Travel Information

The trailhead is Glenbarrow carpark, (see map). Follow Orange arrows onto a downhill track. Enter Glenbarrow woods via wooden railings.

Continue along this path upriver for about 800m. Here by the river, the stone floor of the valley is exposed. Follow the path upriver for another 250m to the waterfall.
