We set off from the car park along the Green Route, choosing to follow the forestry road north first, leaving the waterfalls til last.

The trees were enormous, including many Douglas Firs of gigantic girth.

The sun was out and the walking very pleasant. Rafe had a wonderful time bounding about.

The track soon left the forest road onto a lovely track through the woods down to the river - Abhainn Deabhag - and then along its banks via an avenue of more outsize trees.

The waterfall announced itself well in advance following a week of snow melt and the overnight rain. It was spectacular!
