This linear walk passes the famous Marble Arch – the largest cave exit in Ireland and the UK – where the underground river rises to the surface once more. Along the way, discover the story of the land beneath your feet and the vibrant wildlife that calls this secluded glen home. Let the sights, sounds, and fresh woodland air ground you in this wilder place.
Back Drop
Alive with birdsong, rustling leaves, and the soothing sounds of flowing water, Cladagh Glen is a vibrant haven of life. Rainfall from nearby Cuilcagh Mountain seeps through layers of blanket bog and limestone before emerging from the Marble Arch Caves. Here, crystal-clear waters tumble through the gorge, fed by cascading waterfalls and weaving through ancient ash woodland – a breathtaking reminder of nature’s quiet power and enduring beauty.
