Lovely walk with beautiful scenery. Good car park and picnic area near the waterfall. Lots of steps. Difficult to take a dog on the lead.

In the seaside village of Carnlough you can find the beginning of a walking trail which takes you from the middle of the village all the way to an area known as the Gortin Glen and further still to the Cranny Falls. The path follows the old railway line that used to feed the harbour area with the rich mineral stones from the Gortin Quarry. At the end of the main path there is an old Stone Building and a path that lead up to the quarry and to the Viewpoint. From the Viewpoint you will see panoramic views of Carnlough village and the Irish sea which is perfect for a photo or 2. From the main path you can then follow it to a crossroads which will eventually lead you to Cranny Falls waterfall. The Waterfall is a local spectacle and the walk along the river with the wildflowers on either side is an enjoyable and maybe if you are lucky you can also spot a native Red Squirrel, but you have to be really lucky for that.

Our first caravan trip so maybe not the most balanced review but we had a fabulous time! We stayed three nights midweek in July, hardly anyone there for the first two nights so we managed to get a great pitch with uninterrupted views of the glen in front (the car park below isn’t visible from the site so you just get the drama of the scenery). We also had stunning sunsets to our left and, just outside our window, some very cute rabbits - much to our kids’ delight. Facilities were great for us. Some, like the small kids’ playground, closed due to Covid restrictions but toilet and shower block open, clean and warm - slightly whiffy drains outside the building but we were told the services hadn’t been emptied as usual due to Covid, it wasn’t really a problem anyway. The Warden was really friendly and there was constantly someone cutting grass, cleaning, mopping....lots of attention to keeping the place trim and tidy. Outdoor and indoor dish-washing facilities were both open, a camper’s kitchen was closed and laundry machines seemed to be open, I think token-operated. Our only complaint, no fault of the site’s of course, was that conditions were against us as we arrived and the swarms of midges relentlessly biting as we were setting up almost had us turning tail and going home on the spot. Thankfully they eased off that evening and the breeze picked up so that by our last day they were gone. The cafe onsite kept some slightly mysterious hours (all is forgiven in times of Covid) but they were brilliant and knowledgeable catering for our coeliac daughter, with plenty of choice for her, and nothing was too much trouble. Scenery is stunning and the walks were great, we really loved our few days here!

Beautiful walks. Along the river or through the forest. I parked car and just went where I wished, came out in the town and walked back to car park. V pretty. I only knew about it as used to come to Crumlin as a child, have been encouraging friends to go visit.
