Autumn Photo Walk at Glencar Waterfall

About the Event
Join us for a relaxed autumn photo walk around Glencar Waterfall and the surrounding valley. This is a gentle, scenic walk with a mix of woodland, waterfalls, and lakeside views, perfect for photography in soft autumn light.

We’ll meet at the car park at 11:00 am, visit the main waterfall first, then follow the lakeside trail for wider landscape shots. The route is mostly flat and easy underfoot, about 3 to 4 km in total, with plenty of time to stop and take photos.

After the walk, we’ll finish with coffee or tea at the teaSHED Café beside the car park.

Route Overview

1. Start at the main car park – short path to the base of Glencar Waterfall.
   Good spot for long-exposure shots and close-up details of the falls.
2. Continue along the forest path – stream, mossy trees, and soft light through the canopy.
   Great for depth and leading-line compositions.
3. Walk along Glencar Lake viewpoint – open landscape, reflections, and distant hills.
   Ideal for wide-angle shots and horizon work.
4. Return to the car park for coffee and a chat at the teaSHED around 2:00 pm.
