This is a nice spot to have a bit of a rest and a bite to eat after your lovely walk. Very convenient being next to the road and with a couple of benches here as well.

As the Glenanniff River travels down from the mountains above, it has eroded the local blue limestone to form a deep river valley. Fowleyโs Falls is not a single drop waterfall; instead, it cascades in a series of drops over the exposed bedrock to form a spectacular torrent of water rushing through the steep valley towards Lough Melvin.
