The footpath to the Rhenass waterfall in the Glen Helen has re-opened, the Forestry Directorate has today announced.
Chairman of the Forestry Directorate, Brenda Cannell MHK, said: ‘Our staff and contractors have been working hard to clear trees which were damaged during the snows of March 2013. This means that the main path to the north of the river past the Swiss House restaurant can now be used up to the waterfall.
‘A circular route back is not yet open, but should be soon, as tree work continues in the upper-most reaches of the glen and on paths to the south of the river.’
Mrs Cannell added: ‘Due to the work and recent rains, paths are muddy. Work will be done to improve path surfaces, but in the meantime, please take care and observe any signs and notices.’
