The Devil's Chimney
Link here - https://sligowalks.ie/walks/sruth-in-aghaidh-an-aird-the-devils-chimney/
At just shy of 150 metres, the Devil’s Chimney is listed on the World Waterfall database as Ireland’s tallest waterfall.
The Irish name, Sruth in Aghaidh An Aird, means ‘stream against the height’, as when it is wet and the wind blows from the south, the waterfall is blown up and back over the cliff – hence the name Devil’s Chimney.
The Devil’s Chimney can only be seen at certain times, which is where Ireland’s mild, wet climate works in your favour. If there have been long periods of dry weather, Sruth in Aghaidh An Aird doesn’t flow, but a visit during or immediately after heavy rainfall will reward you with the spectacular site of water pouring down the cliff face.
Admission: Free
