4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

the 5 mile drive via one lane dirt road was uneventful as we only encountered one other vehicle on the way in & way out. we decided to walk the 1.5 hour trail going behind the waterfall. we got near the last rise before the falls (passing gorgeous scenery along the way) and had to pause (to catch my breath)....

We hadn't heard of this attraction. It was recommended to us by our innkeeper. Its actually a home, where the family allows visitors to walk their grounds. This was one of the defining excursions of our trip. The most beautiful landscape you can imagine. Quintessential Ireland. But BEWARE, the walk over the waterfalls is NOT for anyone who is not...

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Gleninchaquin. It wasn't even listed in our Fodor's book. Our innkeeper told us about it. It's well worth a visit. Beautiful river walk that leads to another walk up and over the falls. Allow about 1 1/2 hours to hike over the falls. Beautiful scenery. Add this to your list of things to do.

This place is gorgeous! So scenic, made for an excellent last hike on our day in Beara. We truly enjoyed the views at this wonderful park.

This place is absolutely stunning. It is pristine and well-kept. So breathtaking and a real hidden gem in the beautiful County Kerry. The drive into the park alone is well worth the 5 euro entry fee. Just of note, the farm is privately owned and that is why they charge a fee. We spoke to the owner's son quite a... More

At the entrance of the park we were admiring the waterfall and this very creepy man came over to us and asked us if we wanted to go on a walk when we replied no he asked us to leave saying that it was private property.... Very strange as there was no signs/gates/mention of this on the Internet/brochure. He made... More

This place is beautiful and unspoilt , bit off the main road though on a narrow but very beautiful track running by a lake . Impressive falls and walks , even a little tea room , basic but nice nonetheless . Bring a picnic along if you fancy , lots of places to relax and eat . If you intend... More

The highlight of this was an attempt by a grasping, troll like woman, who ambushed us, to extort an entrance free from me and my friend, as I attempted to turn my car in her yard, after driving down a narrow valley road, which was lined with rocks to prevent one turning earlier! Needless to say, we didn't pay up,... More
