About Glen Helen
Formerly known as Glen Rhenass, it was bought by a Liverpool man named
John A Marsden and developed as a resort under a new name (his
daughter's). A large area themed on glen gardens with rustic bridges
and waterfalls through foliage. The picturesque cottage was once the
private residence of Mr Marsden. It burned down in 1983, but was
rebuilt as it was before and is now run as a restaurant. The main attraction
of the glen is Rhenass Fall, a stream which makes its way down between
two hills lined with boulders. One side of the glen has wide well maintained
walkways. On the other side of the river, the path is narrow and can be
wet. There is a playground with equipment for children near the beginning
of the glen. Food and Meals available from the family friendly Glen Helen Inn.
