Irelands highest waterfall
The Devils Chimney - Sligo
The Devil’s Chimney is located about 11km northeast of Sligo Town. There is a hiking trail that has opened recently that allows visitors to reach the top of the waterfall. This is the perfect area to stop, get pictures, and enjoy the scenery. The Devil’s Chimney stands 150m high, overlooking the Glencar Lough. The Devil’s Chimney is listed on the World Waterfall database as Ireland’s tallest waterfall! Don’t let this intimidate you as you hike towards the top. The views are worth it. However, please note that the waterfall does not flow during periods of dry weather; if the waterfall is not visible on the cliff face from the car park, then the waterfall is not flowing.

Devil's Chimney - Leckhampton Hill
A summer evening, and time for another look at the Devil's Chimney.
The Devil's Chimney is a limestone rock formation that stands above a disused quarry in Leckhampton, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England.
It is named for its peculiar shape, that of a crooked and twisted chimney rising from the ground. The Devil's Chimney is a local landmark, but its origins are uncertain. In 1926 it survived an earthquake, but not without a few cracks. In 1985 it was repaired and protected from further erosion.
Legend holds that the Devil's Chimney is the chimney of the Devil's dwelling deep beneath the ground. Supposedly the Devil, provoked by the many Christian churches of the area, would sit atop Leckhampton Hill and hurl stones at Sunday churchgoers. However the stones were turned back on him, driving him beneath the ground and trapping him there so he could not further harass the villagers. Now he uses the mass of stones as his chimney to let free the smokes of hell.
Visitors to the Devil's Chimney would leave a coin on top of the rock as payment to the Devil in exchange for his staying in his underground home and not leaving to create mischief and spread evil in the local area.
The 19th-century geologist S. Buckman suggested that the strange shape of the Devil's Chimney could be put down to differential erosion, involving the softer outer rock being worn away to leave only the inner harder rock remaining. However, this would require some explanation of why there was a column of harder rock there in the first place.
The truth is probably that the Devil's Chimney was left behind by 18th-century quarry workers, who quarried around it as a joke.
