Glencar Waterfall: The Place I Wish Time Would Just Stop

I've been meaning to write about this one for a while. Glencar Waterfall, over in Sligo, is my favourite place, full stop. The falls themselves actually sit just across the county line in Leitrim, right by Glencar Lough, with Sligo only a short drive away.

It's not a big site. You could walk the whole thing in fifteen minutes if you wanted to. But there isn't a bad angle anywhere in it — turn in any direction and you're looking at something worth stopping for, like every few steps is its own little painting. I've stood in one spot longer than made any sense, just because I didn't want to move yet. Genuinely, I've wished more than once that time would just stay right there.
