  1. Kathleen's Falls

    Share Share Post
    Kathleens falls is on the river Erne. It is about a quarter of an hours walk from Ballyshannon on the Belleek road.
    It is said that a girl named Kathleen jumped these falls on horse back when the English soldiers were after her to arrest her, and her horse and herself were drownded.
    Ever after these falls were called Kathleens falls.
