- Benbulbin was shaped during the ice age, when Ireland was under glaciers. Originally it was a large plateau. Glaciers moving from the northeast to southwest shaped it into its present distinct formation.
Benbulbin, and the Dartry Mountains as a whole, are composed of limestones on top of mudstones. These rocks formed in the area approximately 320 million years ago in a shallow sea. Uppermost in the limestone layer is a thicker, harder limestone called the Dartry Limestone Formation. Below this is a thinner transitional limestone formation - the Glencar Limestone Formation. Further down, the lower slopes consist of shaly mudstone known as the Benbulben Shale Formation. Scree deposits are found near the base.
Love the soundtrack. Very majestic
Thanks Paul great video very informative. Looking forward to hiking this in March 2024.

So did you do the hike Joey? I am hiking up Benbulben today, June 14, 24
That was fantastic, thank you for sharing it with us.
No problem chris thanks for watching bud.👊
I went up today the same route zero visibility and couldnt find the monument at the top is it far away from the waterfall?thanks.
@fm9187 when you get to the top of the waterfall, it's still a fair distance to the top it's a piece of stone can't miss it, then it's a further track to the edge , check out my video, might give you a better idea, sometimes the memory playes tricks.
@walkthewalkswithpaul8096 Thats where i went wrong i turned right as soon as i got to the top of the waterfall and walked for 30 mins in the fog it was treachorous, i got lost for 10 mins never again in the fog.I was never so happy to see the waterfall so i could get back down..
@fm9187 try the app alltrails. That's what we work off.
@@walkthewalkswithpaul8096 cheers it will save me getting lost👍
