While visiting Belfast, Northern Ireland, our taxi driver took us to the Old Waterfall. My two best friends and I loved the experience.
Views of the Old Waterfall in the area called Glenoe outside Belfast
Our taxi driver, upon learning my two best friends and I love nature, suggested taking us to what is called the "Old Waterfall." It was truly a delightful experience!This is what we saw at the top of the waterfall. It was both rainfall-fed and reservoir-fed.

The sign above begins with the words "CLIMB NI" for Northern Ireland.

After walking down a dirt path and a stone staircase with a railing, we came to this bridge and this lovely overlook of the waterfall.

Below are my two best friends, Maddy Marchant on the left and Carrie Marchant (her mother) on the right. They bravely climbed up on this slippery rock to get a closer view. As for me, given that I have a plate and ten screws in my left ankle, stayed safely on the ground. My motto is: "Be Mindful - not Fearful."

There was another gentleman nearby. He graciously agreed to take a picture of us along with our taxi driver. The driver's name is Michael. He works for Value Cabs in Belfast.

Here is a short video I took of the beautiful sound of rushing water.
Michael and his taxi cab. It was a BMW.
