A pretty waterfall in a wooded valley on the Leitrim/Sligo border, made famous by Yeats's 'The Stolen Child'. A short, accessible boardwalk leads from the free car park to the falls, so it's an easy stop for little legs, and a lovely tie-in if you're reading Yeats. Free. Combine it with nearby walks for a longer day.
