Doonan Waterfall, Glencloy

Image: © Robert Ashby Taken: 24 Apr 2013

Doonan Leap is about two miles up the Glencloy River from Carnlough beach. The viewing platform with information panel is in a layby just off the A 42 Carnlough Rd on the left coming from Carnlough and can be difficult to spot from a car. To the best of my knowledge this is the only place where the waterfall can be seen as it is in a deep gorge about 50 feet below the viewpoint and is inaccessible short of wading up the river from its mouth at the beach. It was hidden from view by bushes and small trees which were cut back when the viewing platform was installed by Larne Council.
