Overview

You don't need to embark on a multi-day hike to experience the beauty of Ireland's Hidden Heartlands. The easygoing Glencar Hill Walk takes about two hours to complete, and you will experience epic landmarks almost every step of the way.

Departing from the shores of Glencar Lake, this trail culminates with the Glencar Waterfall — a 15-metre-tall cascade rushing through mossy woodland.
