Just off the Military Road above Glenmalure, you'll find this nice little cascade on the Ballyboy Brook. From here, it's just a short walk to the Glenmalure Lodge for accommodation and refreshments. A short way further north are the more impressive Coolalingo Waterfalls.

Dwyer's Rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

Dwyer's Rock, also known as Cullen's Rock, can be found via a short hike from the Military Road near Glenmalure. The site commemorates the Glenmalure battle and United Irishmen member Michael Dwyer, who fought against the English in the 1798 Rising. His efforts were in vain. Gruesomely, men were hanged from Dwyer's Rock in the period of the Uprising.
