This walk follows forest road along the wooded Glenshelane River before branching off into the western glen along the combined Monavugga and Glenfallia Rivers to where they converge, passing a waterfall and lovely viewing points of the surrounding countryside. The Grotto is located a short distance away at Mellary Bridge.

Starting easy, walking through lush forest and under bridges, all culminating with a beautiful waterfall at the end. Would definitely recommend this one for anyone up for an easy-moderate hike!
