The valley ends near the village of Laragh in County Wicklow and can be easily traversed by the Military Road joining Sally Gap to Laragh. River and waterfallThe river begins high up on the south east quadrant of Mullaghcleevaun mountain, the second tallest of the Wicklow Mountains at {{convert|849|m|ft}}, then flows down the surrounding mountains to the waterfall top at {{convert|350|+/-|10|m|ft}}. The waterfall consists of 3 staggered drops down to {{convert|270|+/-|10|m|ft}}.[2] It continues through the valley and joins the river Avonmore ({{irish place name|Abhainn Mór|big river}}) at Laragh. It is later joined by the river Avonbeg ({{irish place name|Abhainn Beag|small river}}) to become the river Avoca and eventually flows into the Irish Sea at the coastal town called Arklow. ValleyThe valley was carved out during the last glacial period called the quaternary glaciation or Ice Age, which dates from 2.58 Ma (million years ago) to present.[3] The Military Road joining Sally Gap to Laragh passes through the valley running parallel to the river.
