Gorgeous, picturesque, serene, magnificent, magical, cold! I hadn't been since I was a kid, but it brought back all those memories and in fact is still a magical place to visit. It was a beautiful day which obviously helped but I would recommend a visit to anyone, whether a tourist or a resident, it won't disappoint. More

A test of your navigation skills, no public transport and some-one to take your money at the gate. For a free and more exclusive view, without the noise and the crowds, continue past the gates, go to Crone Wood car-park and enjoy a leisurely walk along the forest track till you overlook the waterfall, and you will have it all...

Hi good morning and thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. Unfortunately there is no public transport to the Waterfall but it is still well worth a visit to drive. The Waterfall is great for Summer picnics and bbqs and is a great haven for wildlife! With Warm Regards Carmel Byrne More

If you have a longer stay worth a visit. The cafe has some great food. A little far out of town if you are only on a short visit. More
