We set out from the Torc Waterfall on the Kerry Way. It's a fantastic walk past running rivers and through the trees. It's a bit up-hill at the start but it eases out after awhile and is well worth the effort. It's not for anyone with bad knees particularly coming down as it is a bit steep. Having said that... More

The most popular attraction is the waterfall which is only a couple of hundred metres from the car park. The fall is dramatic, especially after heavy rain. On our visit some warm blooded adventurous/ foolhardy types were splashing around in the river pools. Alongside the viewing area is a seep path to the river above the waterfall. There are good...

This mountain (described as little more than a small hill by one book I have) is some 580m above sea level. The walk can be a little difficult in places, but is mainly up and down sleepers, you can't get lost and the view at the top is superb. I think if you look around the full 360 you can... More
