Glencar waterfall, Waterfall in County Leitrim, Ireland.
The 15-meter waterfall cascades through rock formations and dense woodland near the shores of Glencar Lake in northwestern Ireland.
The natural water flow at Glencar Waterfall has maintained its course through the cliffs since the last ice age shaped this landscape.
William Butler Yeats incorporated references to Glencar Waterfall in his 1886 poem The Stolen Child, cementing its place in Irish literature.
The waterfall viewing area includes a parking lot, restrooms, playground, tea room, and a designated picnic space for visitors throughout the year.
The water flow intensifies after rainfall, creating distinct patterns as it descends from the rocky outcrop into the pool below.
