Located around 13 km from Rosses Point, the waterfall is around 15m high. W. B. Yeats used to visit the waterfall when he was young and wrote about the fairies and changelings of Irish folklore in his poem, The Stolen Child, which we can see was inspired by his passion for Irish mythology and the local nature of Rosses Point and the Glencar Waterfall. • WHERE dips the rocky highland Of Sleuth Wood in the lake, There lies a leafy island Where flapping herons wake The drowsy water rats; There we’ve hid our faery vats, Full of berrys And of reddest stolen cherries. Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand. • From my trip to Sligo thanks to @irishrail and @viewfinders.ie • 💖Double tape if you like waterfalls💖 • 📍Sligo, Ireland 🇮🇪 📸 Glencar Waterfall • • • • • #irishrail #viewfindersie #irishraildestinations #VFNODUB #fartodope #endofworld #wanderxwonder #globalcitizens #grand_globe #womenontheroad #Lifewelltravelled #womenoverlandingtheworld #sligowhoknew #slowliving_explore #bodymindsoul #youririshadventure #loveireland #thehub_ireland #Lovinireland #igerssligo #glencar #loves_united_ireland #irelandcalling #bestofsligo #thisisireland #pictures_of_ireland #chasingwaterfalls #wonderful_location #yeatspoetry #placeofaffections (at Sligo, Ireland)
