After months of searching for this elusive waterfall, we finally found it. Here's our story.
Having first discovered the existence of this waterfall through beautiful photography by Mark Malloy, we became set on it ourselves.
This process took months of reviewing photos on Instagram, videos on youtube, and cryptic news articles, none of which wanted to give away the location.
The seaside here is extremely rich in fossils from the Carboniferous period, with fossils clearly visible all along the walk.
This video is brought to you by Aras BnB located in Glencolmcille, Donegal, Ireland. We are a short 20 minute drive from this amazing waterfall.
Hi, thanks for adding this. It's an unbelievable spot. I proposed to my girlfriend here last Saturday. She said yes!!!!
That's honestly amazing. So happy to hear that and congratulations to you both!
Beautiful Ireland 👌 ☘️
I happen to meet a local family from this location a while back, please respect their wishes to keep it secret......Thank you........
Brilliant thankyou to you and your family for showing this beautiful video look forward to exploring this beautiful waterfall
I thought for a moment that I was going to be very disappointed of your video...but at last you finally went behind the waterfall lol I was holding my breath waiting for you to do it! Definitely will be adding to the top of my list for my Ireland adventure! Thank you for sharing this gem!
haha. Glad to know I delivered :). got to be done. what else is on your Ireland adventure then? You're welcome! hope we see you soon
youve got to go behind the waterfall or youre not living :)
Hi Nick, Thank you so much for sharing! Ignore the naysayers who are saying you shouldn’t have - everyone should have the joy of seeing this beauty! Quick question - what time is best to visit considering the tide only allows a short timeframe?
hi there. its not something I can answer, as it will depend on tides, meaning I cant say 9am for example, as it would depend on the day.You can use this link: www.tidetime.org/europe/ireland/donegal.htm to check tide times for Donegal. Aim to arrive at about 30 minutes before low tide, as that allows 30 minutes of receeding tide, a period of reversal, and 30 minutes before its back at the level you arrived at. an our should be plenty of time to get there and back.
WOW! That is incredible! I am going to make sure I am in shape enough to go see these falls in September! Thanks for sharing this marvelous wonder of nature!
Hi Ann. September is nearing. How's your plans coming along?
Thank you ! Very Useful !
We were so close at the weekend. We git past the fossils and the cave but we couldn't get over the last set of rocks. Looked like we would have to climb/scramble but rocks were so wet. Was there right on time at 10.18 at night. Was actually on site from 9pm and worked over bit by bit.
big big thanks for sharing , i never knew about and i been few times around very nice places around , hard to describe need to go and see by your self
This video is fantastic, I am thinking for about year now how to get to this waterfall, been at Kelly's Kitty this August but somewhat got confused where to go from there, I researched on google a lot so hopefully now I know...will check your b&b option as will be coming from Monaghan. Keep sharing videos about magic places from around!
Going to check this out in March :)
My dads family is the house right beside if they were the first ones to discover it
My family live not to far from the cave
Well more of my dads side
I have been trying to find out how to get to this waterfall for some time. After viewing the video I see that it is an even better adventure than I thought. This is now on my bucket list. Having relatives from Killybegs, I wonder if any of them ever knew of this place in their midst.
Hi Maureen. It took us quite a while too. It's definitely a lot of fun getting there but it is slippery so be careful. Let us know how your adventure goes !
Hope this gets you lots of publicity and free advertising for your B&B which is inevitability the reason you made the video...
Hi Harley. Thanks for the kind words. The publicity has been good.
great stuff guys,im gonna head down there tomorrow and do my own piece. might need accomodation,so thank you ☺
Hey. great to hear! how did you enjoy it? did you film your own piece? link us if you did :)
@@Nick-ye8pf Hello, not yet. Had to postpone the trip..only going next weekend.. i want to some nice shots with gimbal and all. Cant wait, defo will link it. Thanks! :)
@@viktorsz awesome man. Can't wait to see it! We did the slieve league boat trip yesterday from the oceans edge. Will put together a video of that in the next week or so. Well worth the time and money. Was beautiful.
@@Nick-ye8pf Haha,you almost as excited as I am. so probably next weekend,book a bnb there. Aras,is it? and get some nice 4k 10vids. Will let you know
@@viktorsz hey mate. Yea there's loads of accommodation in the area. My parents place is arasbnb.com in glencolmcille, near silver strand beach (also called Malin beg). Have a good weekend!
Thanks for sharing. Love Donegal and visiting soon, is that gate from the road usually open? Not trespassing private land going through?
It's always been open when we've been and never had anyone tell us or any of our guests that they weren't able to get there. Also not had anyone tell us or any guests not to pass down the road, so you should be fine.
I don’t think it’s so secret anymore thanks to the internet
Shameful promotion of your BnB. You really have no right giving away the location as you are not even from the area
Well, sorry you feel that way. Nature is a gift for all to enjoy and most "locals" have never been to the place to begin with. What you don't realise is this brings tourism, which drives local business, which creates jobs and feeds the local economy. You can have that with its benefits, or you can have your opinion and it's lack thereof.
Most locals do know about the place, we just don't walk around with selfie sticks and post everything we do online,Am hearing that you will soon have to pay for parking at Slieve league, this once quiet peaceful part of the world is no more, been sold off to the highest bidder. as long as we got a few views and likes....Sad.
@@donica7503 you can't please everyone
Still haven’t been able to find it ugh 😂😅
Hi Can you tell me please if I have got as far as the Pod have I already past the walkway you took down to the shore?
Hi Sharon. With the pod on your right, and kitty Kelly's behind you, walk down the road about 2-300 yards. There will be a little walk way on the right. Hope that helps!
@@Nick-ye8pf thank you...
I hope to get to Ireland for both tourist and genealogy purposes next year. When I do, I would love to come stay with you at your lovely place. Do you do a vegan breakfast?
Hi there. Nick here from ArasBnB.com. IF you're visiting for genealogy purposes, make sure you check out "oideas gael", the local Gaelic language school just a 5 minute drive from us. Loads of people take their courses which they couple with sight seeing. They're great. Regarding the vegan breakfast, just drop us a call and let us know what your needs are and we can explain options. We should point out that we provide a full kitchen for guest use, with a lovely log burner and dining space. Many of our guests opt to self cater some of their meals, so that is another option. We provide cupboard space for food and have several fridges for guest use while you stay. If you have any other questions, get in touch via our website "arasbnb.com" where Leon will be happy to answer your questions. See you soon!
How do you know when the tide is out? Me and my girlfriend are planning to go on Saturday and don't want to get cut off for obvious reasons lol
techyes just google tide times killybegs- gives you high and low tide times
Should of left it secret
Why?
It's been well publicized on face book also since 2017
Your video is good in the sense of warning people of the dangers but most certainly taking away the discovery aspect of it all ....so i guess dont watch it if you dont want it spoiled
I would guess that part of the joy of 'finding' it for you was the exploring of the area before you found it and then the excitement of finally finding it having searched and explored - you 'earned' it....an experience that you are denying those that watch this video. Ah well I'm sure you'll get some bookings from this and earn some money which I am sure is your motivation in making this video... good luck!
Disgrace that you would expose this hidden gem..no doubt now the place will be wrecked in no time
What a secret with 11k people that know about it
hilarious you pronounce it glencolmkill
Ruined
