Another one of the actually Free things to do in Ireland! Just park in the parking lot at the bottom of the Falls and climb the tiered steps to the top. The Forest, the views, the refreshing smell of fresh water, the moss growing everywhere, the rock...... this is Mother Nature at its very best. The only tiny negative we... More

We were going to walk to the falls when a jaunting car picked us up. He gave us a nice history of the area. The falls were so pretty! Hidden treasure that I'm glad we visited

Torc waterfall is worth seeing and not far from the parking lot, if walking is not your forte. You can, if you like, stretch the hike to Dennis cottage to see the meeting of the waters

The moss covering the trees transported me, the waterfall mystified the scene, I wanted never to leave

Excellent views throughout the climb. Torc waterfall well worth viewing on the ascent., Did not like the artificial path of railway sleepers.

Beautiful mountain waterfall. Even my clumsy cell phone pictures look like a beer commercial. Easy walk to see the falls.

The falls are underwhelming, and there's not a lot of fauna about during the hike. It's actually a rater boring hike!

When we arrived at Muckross house, we had about an hour before the next tour started. If you find yourself in the same predicament, be sure to walk to this waterfall. It is about 2km from the house, but saying that, the walk does not feel like it. You walk through one of the oldest oak forests in Ireland! How... More
