Ireland day 11 (Thur).
A short section of the coast route. Views of the Dartry Mountains feature prominently in the landscape. The range is a large dissected limestone plateau. Glaciation has carved the distinctive shapes of this mountain range.
Also a detour inland between the mountains to visit Glencar waterfall. W.B. Yeats often visited the waterfall in his youth. He mentioned it in his poem 'The Stolen Child', in which he wrote about the Irish folklore associated with fairies and changelings.
