adill House is
delightfully situated on the seashore. The grounds are open to the
public, and it is a very pleasant ride through on the well-kept avenues.

Retracing your steps to the main road, after passing Rathcormack Chapel,
turn off to the left for Glencar, along a fairly level by-road, with
fast, but stony, surface. After 2 miles turn to the left again. In due
course Glencar is reached. Keeping along the north shore of the lake an
extraordinary waterfall will be seen on the left. A thin sheet of water
falls from the top of the cliff, and when the wind is from a particular
quarter it catches the falling water every few minutes, and scattering
it in minute particles makes it have the appearance of being suddenly
cut off. Then all of a sudden it comes with a rush again, and apparently
with renewed vigour. It is a very strange phenomenon, and fascinating
withal.

Wheeling along the shores of the lake we come to a larger waterfall at
the extreme extremity, to which our measurement of 18-1/2 miles is
taken. There is a fine volume of water here, and the neighbourhood being
well wooded, gives a pretty effect. A cup of tea can be had at Mr.
Siberry's, hard by.

From this on to Manorhamilton the road, though good, is uninteresting,
but if time presses the cyclist can ride direct back to Sligo, round
Glencar Lake. By adopting this route, however, some beautiful scenery
will be missed, and we should strongly advise following what is known as
the old road from Manorhamilton to Sligo (14). Unless a meal is required
it is better not to go as far as Manorhamilton, but to turn to the
right, 1-1/2 miles out. This will reduce the day's journey by 3 miles.
From this turn there is a stiff climb of 2 miles, but the surface is
good the entire way. At the top of this incline a grand prospect bursts
on the view. A confusion of miniature mountains, densely wooded, extend
in every direction, while, as we descend, the waters of Lough Gill come
into view beneath.

A short distance from the summit the road forks. To the right leads to
Sligo, while the turn to the left runs direct to the lake's shores, and
then joins the other road some miles farther on. Both routes lead
through beautiful scenery. The first is the shortest, but the second the
prettiest.
