Spring Rains Make the Waterfall, Ess na Crub, Glenariff, County Antrim

Located deep within the widest of the nine Glens of Antrim, Glenariff, the lesser known of the falls on the section is Ess na Crub, which means Fall of the Hooves. This name refers to the thunderous roar of the falls even when there isn't much flow, it's incredibly easy to locate by its sound.

Glenariff comes from the Irish, Gleann Aireamh which means Valley of the Ploughman or Arable Valley. Each of Antrim's nine glens has a distinct feel and its own character and is an area well known to Panoramic Ireland.

I have been to Ess na Crub and Ess na Larach numerous times over the autumn, winter and spring 2024/2025.

Why not join me to photograph here in one of Ireland's finest waterfall locations in summer?
