Hidden gem of the week
The walk most tourists never find

Beyond Torc Waterfall, past the point where the tour groups turn back, the river path continues for another 40 minutes through ancient oak woodland to the Old Weir Lodge — a ruined hunting lodge on the banks of the Upper Lake with a view that will stop you in your tracks. No signage, no crowds, completely free. Only locals know it exists.
