Derrynahimmirk / Fowley’s Falls

The forest of Derrynahimmirk allows visitors to access the famous Fowley’s Falls near Rossinver in County Leitrim. This area known for its cascading waters and rich woodland that surrounds it. The falls are nestled within a steep valley carved by the Glenaniff River, and the area is enveloped by native trees and hedgerows that create a tranquil, shaded environment. The woodland features a mix of deciduous species that change with the seasons, offering vibrant greens in spring and summer, and warm hues in autumn. The sound of rushing water combined with birdsong and rustling leaves makes the site a sensory retreat for visitors.

The walking trail to the falls is designed to preserve the natural woodland character, with gravel paths winding through dense foliage. Along the way, visitors encounter moss-covered rocks, fern-lined banks, and occasional clearings that offer views of the cascading river. The forested setting not only enhances the visual appeal of the falls but also supports local biodiversity, making it a haven for wildlife and a peaceful escape for walkers and nature enthusiasts alike.
