About this listing
A very enjoyable walk through lovely woods to the Devils Glen waterfall, returning alongside the river through the glen. The Devil\'s Glen was chosen as the location for Sculpture in Woodland because of its rich historic, artistic and natural heritage. The Glen was cut out gradually by meltwater during the glacial period and the River Vartry enters at the waterfall.Devil\'s Glen - Sculptures Woodland Looped Walk has created a greater awareness of wood as an artistic and functional medium. Creative artists are facilitated in responding in new ways to the natural environment; in return the artists give the community a rich and diverse range of work, situated in an environment that is very different to a traditional gallery space. Artists are commissioned on an annual basis and to date thirteen sculptures, by both Irish and international artists, have been permanently sited in the Devil\'s Glen.From the entrance to the Devils Glen forest drive in along the forest track to reach a car park after about 2km. Your walk starts at the information board and walks back about the entrance road for 100 metres. From here the loop trail takes you deep into this beautiful forest to finish back at the car park where you started. Along the route you will find some unusual and interesting ‘Sculptures in Woodland’.
