Glen O' the Downs
Glen O' the Downs
The Glen O' the Downs is the largest example in Ireland of a meltwater channel. It was formed by melting water draining from beneath the edge of the Irish Sea ice sheet about 15,000 years ago. Later the ice thawed to form large glacial lakes around Enniskerry and the glen formed an outlet channel to the south. Native woodland now covers the valley slopes.
